IJC Chair LaQuietta Hardy-Campbell and ISBA President John O'Brien
The Illinois State Bar Association Board of Governors approved a sponsorship of the Illinois Judicial Council Foundation's Subcircuit Traveling Exhibit during its meeting last Friday.
IJC Chair Hon. LaQuietta J. Hardy-Campbell presented the request on behalf of the Council.
The IJC project is an expansion of the IJC's Pictorial Exhibit which has pictures of its members and a history of the IJC. The Subcircuit Traveling Exhibit is a new and separate exhibit which discusses the creation and impact of subcircuits in Cook County. Since the passage of Cook County's subcircuits, the number of black judges in Cook County and the number of pictures in the exhibit have greatly increased.
The Chicago Mayor's Office of Special Events has allowed the IJC to annually display its exhibit in the Daley Center. The pictorial exhibit has been displayed in the Daley Center for over 15 years during February, Black History Month.
