WBAI Judicial Reception set for March 9

The Women's Bar Association of Illinois will hold its 24th Annual Judicial Reception on Thursday, March 9, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., at the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington St.

At the event, the WBAI will present its Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Judicial Achievement Award to the following present or former justices of the Illinois Supreme Court:
  • Chief Justice Mary Jane Theis, First District,
  • Justice Joy V. Cunningham, First District,
  • Justice Elizabeth M. Rochford, Second District,
  • Justice Mary K. O’Brien, Third District,
  • Justice Lisa Holder White, Fourth District,
  • Justice Anne M. Burke (Ret.), and
  • Justice Rita B. Garman (Ret.)
Tickets for this event are $125 apiece for WBAI members ($175 for nonmembers). Government lawyers, law students, and newly admitted lawyers (defined here as those admitted for less than two years) can purchase tickets for $95 each. Judges are admitted free, gratis, and for nothing, but all attendees must register, starting at this page.

The event has already attracted a host of sponsors (yes, that link will take you to a lengthy list of names and logos) but there are apparently additional oppotunities, starting at $2,000 (for a Bronze sponsorship).
