Supreme Court Names Members To Continuing Legal Education
The Illinois Supreme Court announced Wednesday the appointment of the nine-member board to oversee a new continuing legal education program required for all attorneys licensed to practice within the state.
Along with a permanent Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism, whose members were appointed earlier this month, the two new programs are aimed at ensuring the quality of legal services in Illinois as well as promoting civility among lawyers within the profession.
The Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) Board contains a balance, including attorneys of varied backgrounds from around the state; one non-attorney with experience in designing professional development opportunities for educators; and a Circuit Court judge. Jack L. Brooks, an attorney in Rock Island with an emphasis in civil litigation, was appointed chairperson. He is one of the founding partners of Brooks & Trinrud in Rock Island, and has practiced law in western Illinois and eastern Iowa since 1975 after receiving his law degree from Drake Law School. Mr. Brooks has engaged in alternative dispute resolution matters both as an attorney for the parties as well as in the role of arbitrator or mediator.
Others named to the board are: Diana L. Embil, an associate regional counsel for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Chicago; a former law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Charles E. Freeman and to former Appellate Court Judge R. Eugene Pincham. Ms. Embil received her law degree from the University of Wisconsin Law School in Madison, Wis., in 1985.
