National Law Day of Action: Standing for the Rule of Law Thursday, May 1, 2025 Federal Plaza 219 S Dearborn St, Chicago, IL 60604
The principles of judicial independence and the independence of the legal profession are facing unprecedented challenges across the country. Attacks on judges for their rulings and attempts to intimidate or punish lawyers for representing and advocating for their clients violate the rule of law, a historical cornerstone of our democracy. Standing for the rule of law is not a political or partisan issue, but rather a fundamental issue of respecting the rule of law. We encourage fellow members of the legal profession and the general public to honor and defend the Constitution and the rule of law and support the essential role of the legal profession in our society. Join the Chicago Bar Association along with other Chicagoland Bar Associations on May 1st for an oath reaffirmation ceremony to support the rule of law and judicial independence. The reaffirmation of oath will be administered by Chief Justice Mary Jane Theis. Register now to let us know you're coming and receive updates on the program.
