Sarah F. King, partner at Clifford Law Offices, joined women lawyers in the Illinois capital on March 5, 2024, for the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association (ITLA) Women’s Caucus Lobbying Day.
The attorneys met with Speaker Welch, Leader Hoffman, and Representative Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz, among other elected officials.
Co-founded by King in 2018, the primary goal of the ITLA caucus is to ensure women have greater representation in the organization generally as well as in leadership positions, whether that means recruiting more women for the board of managers or having more women responsible for planning programming for continuing legal education opportunities. In addition, the group has served as an integral part of the organization’s fight to preserve the right to trial by jury and access to justice for all.
