The 2010 Guide to Illinois Statutes for Attorneys’ Fees, which is produced by the Illinois State Bar Association, is now available and includes new and updated listings on recoverable fees; current through March 1, 2010.
The new edition of this handy book lists provisions in the Illinois Compiled Statutes that authorize the court to order one party to pay the attorney fees of another. No matter what your practice area, this book will save you time – and could save you money!
In the 2010 edition you’ll also find new and updated listings on recoverable fees in Animal Safety, Credit Card Liability, the Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, Consumer Fraud, the Freedom of Information Act, and more. The new alphabetical listing of Acts makes it even more useful.
Prepared by members of the ISBA General Practice, Solo & Small Firm Section Council and edited by council member Timothy E. Duggan, it’s a guide no lawyer should be without.
