The Appellate Lawyers Association (ALA), the Madison County Bar Association (MCBA), and the St. Clair County Bar Association (SCCBA) are co-hosting a roundtable luncheon featuring the Justices of the Illinois Appellate Court, Fifth District. This event provides a unique opportunity to interact with the Justices and gain the perspective of the other side of the bench.

Karmeier of the Illinois Supreme Court, Justice David K. Overstreet and Justice Judy Cates of the Illinois Appellate Court, Fifth District, as well as John J. Flood, Clerk of the Illinois Appellate Court, Fifth District. The judicial panel will be followed by a presentation on Appellate Brief Writing by ALA Past President Professor Edward J. Kionka.
