WHAT WE DO
OUR LATEST SEMINAR explored the professional excellence of one of Illinois’ greatest attorneys, Abraham Lincoln. The presentation offered engaging vignettes about Lincoln’s legal career. It described Lincoln’s law practice and how other attorneys viewed him (including a few pre-presidency opinions for a better idea of what his contemporaries thought of Lincoln). The program also explored Lincoln’s personal viewpoints about the legal profession.
