MCLE Reporting Deadline Lawyers with last names beginning with the letters A through M are required to complete their Illinois MCLE credits by June 30, 2024.

Attorneys in need of credit are encouraged to visit the CBA’s online CLE platform at learn.chicagobar.org to find over 300 hours of seminars (many are free!). CBA Insurance Agency Many members may not realize that the Association has had an in-house agency since the early 1990s that provides a full range of insurance services to our mem bers. The CBA Insurance Agency is run by Tyler Sill, an experienced, licensed broker. If you are interested in obtaining a quote for your Lawyer’s Professional Liabil ity coverage or are interested in learning more about cyber liability, disability, life, or health insurance, he can be reached at 312-554-2077 or tsill@chicagobar. org. There is no charge to obtain a quote. Tyler’s ability to acquire quotes from a wide variety of A+ malpractice insurance carriers often result in premium savings. Thank You to Our Many Volunteers National Volunteer Week officially took place in April, but the CBA would like to acknowledge and thank our dedicated members who serve in leadership roles; speak at our seminars and committee meetings; participate in our legislative process, judicial evaluations, mentoring programs, pro bono, and community ser vice projects; and support the CBA’s mis sion in so many other ways. With your time and talent, the CBA continues to be one of the most prestigious and award winning metropolitan bar associations in the country.
