Join us for a conversation with ARDC Administrator Lea S. Gutierrez who will discuss the core functions of the Illinois Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission (ARDC).
Matters that Matter: An Update from the ARDC with Lea Gutierrez
What You Think You Know: Rethinking the ARDC
Join us for a conversation with ARDC Administrator Lea S. Gutierrez who will discuss the core functions of the Illinois Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission (ARDC). She will also share key findings and trends from the ARDC’s 2024 Annual Report and discuss the ARDC’s goals and strategies for shaping the future of the legal profession.
Lea Gutierrez is the Administrator of the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission (ARDC) of the Illinois Supreme Court, where she leads the agency in its mission to protect the public and promote the integrity of the legal profession through attorney registration, education, restorative services, and, when necessary, discipline. Under her leadership, the ARDC has emphasized a balanced approach to regulation—one that includes proactive support for attorneys and enhanced accessibility to legal services.
Ms. Gutierrez began her legal career as a public defender, advocating for individuals with limited access to legal resources—an experience that shaped her enduring commitment to equity and fairness in the legal system. She has held numerous leadership roles at the ARDC, including Litigation Counsel, Litigation Manager, and the organization’s first Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, where she spearheaded initiatives to foster inclusive practices in attorney regulation. She also served as Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at both the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office and the American Lung Association, where she led national and institutional strategies to promote equity and institutional change.
These combined experiences inform her current work to evolve the ARDC’s programs and culture toward greater transparency, fairness, and support for attorneys throughout their careers. Ms. Gutierrez earned her law degree from Temple University’s James E. Beasley School of Law.

Energy healing is spiritual work that has been used for thousands of years and provides significant mental, emotional and physical wellbeing and performance benefits. During this program, lawyers will learn about energy healing - what it is, how it works, what it feels like and what wellbeing and performance benefits it provides.
Energy Healing: The Best Kept Secret in Legal Wellbeing & Performance
Energy healing is spiritual work that has been used for thousands of years and provides significant mental, emotional and physical wellbeing and performance benefits. Why is this work invaluable for legal professionals?
Law firms and other legal organizations as well as individual legal professionals are increasingly making significant investments in their personal and professional development, and particularly coaching and counseling services (“talk modalities”). These talk modalities, while tremendously beneficial, only support employees at the level of their conscious awareness – i.e., the thoughts and challenges they know about. This is a critical distinction because as much as 95% of our thoughts are subconscious. Subconscious programming includes, among other things, limiting beliefs, self-sabotaging patterns, inherited and current lifetime trauma, and societal conditioning about how we see ourselves, what is possible and permissive. This means that the vast majority of support currently provided to legal professionals is only addressing a tiny piece of the mental and emotional wellbeing pie and a different type of support is needed.
During this program, lawyers will learn about energy healing – what it is, how it works, what it feels like and what wellbeing and performance benefits it provides. They will also learn how to implement energy healing as an added tool to address negative subconscious thought patterns and achieve greater wellness. Attendees will have an opportunity to experience an energy healing session during the second half of the program.

Lawyers as Leaders: Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County Mariyana T. Spyropoulos
Join the CBA for a conversation with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos. This program will explore her journey from practicing attorney to public service, her first few months in the role, and her plans and goals for the Office of Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County in the future.
Moderator:
Gail Eisenberg, Co-Chair, CBA CLE Committee & Partner, Loftus EisenbergAbout Mariyana T. Spyropoulos
The Clerk of the Circuit Court is the front door to the criminal justice system, and Clerk Mariyana Spyropoulos has pledged to keep that door open to all by ensuring the office’s services are transparent, accountable and accessible.Upon taking office in December of 2024, Clerk Spyropoulos began her work to increase access to every community, to institute the highest ethical and professional standards and to improve service by expanding technology. As the daughter of immigrants, Clerk Spyropoulos strongly believes in supporting diverse and underserved populations navigating the justice system.
Clerk Spyropoulos grew up on Chicago's South Side, attended Chicago Public School and took an early interest in public service. She earned a law degree at the University of Illinois at Chicago and a Master of Business Administration from Loyola University Chicago. She is a former Cook County assistant state's attorney.
Clerk Spyropoulos’ passion for reforming government led her to win the election in 2010 as a commissioner of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, a $1.7-billion-dollar agency responsible for protecting our water environment through the collection and treatment of waste and stormwater throughout the region. She was first elected in 2010 and re-elected in 2016 and 2022. She served as board president from 2015 to 2019.
While overseeing the district, Clerk Spyropoulos advanced cutting edge green technologies, transparency and fiscal responsibility. She was also a strong supporter of labor and veterans’ initiatives.
Clerk Spyropoulos maintained the district’s impressive AAA bond rating and introduced independent inspector general oversight while live-streaming board meetings to the public. Her work was recognized in 2017 with the Illinois Water Environment Association Public Official Award, in 2021 with the Public Service Award from the Water Environment Federation and in 2022 with the Alumni Public Service Award from the University of Illinois School of Law.

Setting Boundaries 2.0--Cultivating Confidence to Better Advocate for Yourself
Everyone knows that setting boundaries is important for avoiding burnout, maintaining healthy relationships, and finding balance. Too often, however, lawyers and legal professionals allow their drive, insecurities, and perfectionist tendencies to keep them from upholding their limits. In this interactive workshop, we will examine one of the thorniest challenges to setting boundaries–advocating for yourself when your boundaries are challenged. Together, we will review best practices for identifying, communicating, and applying boundaries before delving into evidence-based techniques for cultivating more confidence to speak up for yourself and strategies for fostering a culture that reduces barriers for setting boundaries and increases the effectiveness of your teams and organizations.
