Lunch from Inspiration Kitchens will be provided

Hear from the Honorable Sidney Schenkier and current JAMS mediators the Honorable Morton Denlow (Ret.) and the Honorable Geraldine Soat Brown (Ret.) Also, hear about opportunities to gain settlement conference experience through the Northern District of Illinois Settlement Assistance Program.
