Chicago Bar Association recruiting new JEC members
The Chicago Bar Association is actively recruiting new members for its Judicial Evaluation Committee. And the CBA is making a full-on, multi-media effort in support of this recruitment drive. That's a full half-hour video, above, profiling the CBA JEC, and explaining how the JEC helps to foster judicial competence and independence. And, below? This is a clip from CBA JEC Chair Michelle Carey, explaining how she got involved in the JEC and how she believes it is helping her career:
I suppose the shorter clip is for the Millennials or Zoomers who prefer to consume information in Reel- or TikTok-sized bites.
(Or would that be "bytes"? Less accurate, surely, but it looks more technical....)
Anyway, CBA members of every generational cohort can download the application to join the CBA JEC from the CBA website.
Questions about CBA JEC service should be directed to Phyllis Lubinski at plubinski@chicagobar.org.
For over 40 years I concentrated my law practice in insurance coverage, insurance litigation, insurance defense, and civil appeals. Although I am currently retired from active practice, I continue to serve as an Arbitrator in Cook County Municipal and Law cases. I am also certified as a Mediator in the Cook County Law Division Major Case Court-Annexed Civil Mediation Program and the Chancery Division Mediation Program.
