Upcoming Events
Chicago Appleseed and the Chicago Council of Lawyers will be putting on a free CLE panel discussion about the administrative process for child support enforcement. Latham & Watkins have generously offered to host the event, February 27th from 2:30 to 5:30, while Badesch Abramovitch is generously sponsoring the reception (at Latham & Watkins) after the panel.
Nicole McKinnon of Badesch Abramovitch will be the moderator; the panel includes Judge Pamela Loza, Yvette Perez-Trevino of DHS, and a representative from the State’s Attorneys office. The panel will provide a working understanding of (1) why a case would proceed administratively rather than judicially; (2) how the administrative process works to initiate an order; (3) what administrative enforcement remedies exist; (4) the intersection of administrative and judicial orders and jurisdictional issues.
The CLE is free, but you must rsvp to emonkus@chicagoappleseed.org attend. The event provides 1.5 hours of general CLE credit.
We are also preparing for our Spring Award Reception, Thursday March 12, from 6-9pm at River Roast (315 N LaSalle). We will be honoring James F. Rogers, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary Orbitz Worldwide; Anne Geraghty Helms, Pro Bono Coordinator, DLA Piper; and the law firm of Loevy & Loevy for commitment to justice and systemic reform.
If you’d like to sponsor the event, please contact Nakia Kelly (NKelly@appleseednetwork.org) at National Appleseed or Elizabeth Monkus (emonkus@chicagoappleseed.org) at Chicago Appleseed. If you’re interested in purchasing an individual ticket to the event, we will have ticket information soon.
