The Association will once again host the Illinois Supreme Court Civil Cases Year-in-Review, an information-packed seminar featuring Illinois Appellate Court Justice Ann B. Jorgensen of the Second District, along with past ALA presidents J. Timothy Eaton and Michael T. Reagan. The panel will discuss the significant civil cases decided by the Illinois Supreme Court during the past year. 

 As in years' past, the seminar will be presented in multiple locations. The initial presentation will be held on January 21, 2016, at Maldaner’s Restaurant in Springfield. The panel will also present the seminar on January 28, 2016, in Chicago at Neal Gerber & Eisenberg LLP and on February 4, 2016, in Wheaton at the DuPage County Judicial Center.

Justice Jorgensen began her practice as an assistant State’s Attorney in DuPage County. She then entered private practice before beginning her career in the judiciary as an Associate Judge in the 18th Judicial Circuit. In 2008, the Illinois Supreme Court appointed Justice Jorgensen to the Illinois Appellate Court, Second District.
