    Component Credit Type State/Medical Type Available Credits Earned Credits
    Meet Your Personal and Professional Goals with Scaling (On Demand Webcast, 1.00 IL Mental Health / Substance Abuse PR-MCLE Credit ) CLE IL 1.00 0.00

    “Scaling” is a technique that can help you put your priorities and problems into perspective. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn how to craft and use scaling questions to blunt perfectionist tendencies, engage in cognitive reframing, and boost motivation.

    On A Scale From 1 to 10…Meet Your Personal and Professional Goals with Scaling Techniques

     “Scaling” is a technique that can help you put your priorities and problems into perspective. No matter what your short-term or long-term goals are, “scaling” questions can help you identify, set, measure, and ultimately achieve them. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn how to craft and use scaling questions to blunt perfectionist tendencies, engage in cognitive reframing, and boost motivation.  We will also discuss potential drawbacks to using them and when it might make sense to adjust or dispense with scaling questions altogether before working through a tool created to start applying these principles to your own professional development.

  • No Record, No Case: Building a Trial Record That Stands (3/19/25)
    Includes Credits
    Component Credit Type State/Medical Type Available Credits Earned Credits
    No Record, No Case: Building a Trial Record That Stands (On Demand Webcast, 2.00 IL MCLE Credit) CLE IL 2.00 0.00

    At this program you will learn how to create a proper trial record that will result in greater success before courts of review. (HYBRID SEMINAR)

    This is a hybrid event with an in-person and a webinar option. Please select the appropriate button when registering if you plan to attend in-person. Event will take place at the Chicago Bar Association, 321 S. Plymouth Court, Chicago, IL 60604.

    As was famously stated in the case of Protect Our Waters vs. County of Merced, "If it is not in the record, it did not happen.” Courts of review in Illinois deal with thousands of cases where the record is lacking with reasons ranging from lack of providing trial documents to not preserving objections. An insufficient record may be why many appeals are not taken, or the outcome is one the parties did not expect. Even seasoned trial counsel and members of the judiciary contribute to creating insufficient trial records. At this program you will learn how to create a proper trial record that will result in greater success before courts of review. 

    Topics of discussion will include:
    - Matters conducted off-the-record
    - Clarifying the record 
    - Impounding documents/record 
    - SCRs 604(a) & 455
    - Post trial matters
    - Technology - how technology has changed the appellate practice and how to get the document in the record through utilizing technology

    Panelists:
    Enrique Abraham, Cook County Assistant States Attorney & Supervisor over Criminal and Civil Appeals
    Ginger Leigh Odom, Assistant Appellate Defender, State of Illinois 
    Justice Jesse G. Reyes, Illinois Appellate Court, First District
    Gretchen Harris Sperry, Partner, Gordon Rees and Former President of the Appellate Lawyers Association

    This program is co-sponsored by The Chicago Bar Association, the Diversity Scholarship Foundation, Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois (HLAI) and the Northwest Suburban Bar Association.
