Many lawyers practice regularly in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois or in the Illinois state courts, but rarely in both. When duty requires a venture into the unfamiliar forum, anxiety can spike. Experienced attorneys may neither know nor remember how the written and unwritten practice rules and customs differ between the two forums. Worry no more.
Join us for lunch as U.S. District Court Judge Franklin Valderrama and Circuit Court of Cook County Judge Jerry Esrig highlight and compare the major differences between federal and Illinois practice.
