SPRINGFIELD The Illinois Judges Association (IJA) and the Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism (2Civility) is launching a new program week aimed at advancing greater diversity, equity and inclusion in the state’s legal system.
“Building Confidence in our Legal System” is a virtual three-part series that will bring together legal and community stakeholders across Illinois to address racial and other disparities in the legal system. The first session was Thursday.
“Institutional and systemic racism undermines the values of our nation and democracy,” said Judge Diane Shelley, president of the Illinois Judges Association. “Our goal is to build trust and confidence in the role of judges and lawyers in preserving those rights and furthering the cause of justice and fairness.”
