Coalition of Chicagoland Bar Associations

The Coalition of Chicagoland Bar Associations brings together voluntary bar associations from across the Chicagoland area with a shared mission to defend the rule of law, support judicial independence, and strengthen our legal institutions. The Coalition was formed to amplify our collective voice on matters that impact the legal profession, the administration of justice, and the communities we serve. Through collaboration, shared resources, and joint advocacy, we aim to make a meaningful difference in our legal landscape.
