Clifford Law Offices sponsors the Illinois Judges Foundation (IJF) Annual Reception, which will be held on October 10 at the Chicago Bar Association (CBA).
Several judges will receive the organization’s Distinguished Service Award, including the Hon. Joy Cunningham, Illinois Supreme Court, First District; the Hon. Debra Walker, Illinois Appellate Court, First District; the Hon. Michael Chmiel, Chief Circuit Judge, McHenry County; and the Hon. Matthew Maurer (posthumously), Associate Judge, Sangamon County.
The IJF, the charitable arm of the Illinois Judges Association, was established in 2007 to fund educational, Civic, and scholarship projects that advance the rule of law, the legal profession, and the administration of justice. It encourages the participation of active and retired judges in these endeavors.
Refreshments will be provided at the awards reception from 5 to 7 p.m. at the CBA, 321 S. Plymouth Ct., Chicago. Tickets or sponsorships for the event may be purchased online or by calling 312-554-2008.
