The ISBA and the Illinois Supreme Court hosted a virtual listening tour this year to explore and collaborate on local issues across the state. Sessions were held in all five Judicial Districts.

Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Anne Burke was a guest of the ISBA and attended all listening tour sessions. ISBA President Dennis Orsey moderated the events.

The sessions, originally scheduled to be held in-person, focused on how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting courts throughout Illinois. Amended Rule 415 is one change brought about by discussions during the listening tour.

Recordings of the first six sessions are available online.
