The Presidents’ Circle is made up of our most committed supporters. These donors make the collaboration for justice between Chicago Appleseed Center for Fair Courts and the Chicago Council of Lawyers possible. 

Launched in 2012 to engage the Boards’ past Presidents in the work of our collaboration for justice, the Presidents’ Circle has grown to include a variety of advocates, such as pro bono attorneys, colleagues, community partners, and friends. The goal of the Presidents’ Circle is to assist in sustaining our advocacy and extending our reach through awareness of our projects and successes. Presidents’ Circle Members are the front-line champions of Chicago Appleseed and the Chicago Council of Lawyers. These donors keeps us all engaged in the urgent work to remove barriers to justice and create equity and fairness in the administration of our courts and our laws.
These donors inspire others through their generosity and sustain our work with annual or monthly contributions over $500.
