Welcome to the Home Page of the Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism.

The Commission was created in 2006 to confront the concerns and further the aspirations of the profession. The primary charge for the Commission is to ensure that the practice of law in this state remains a high calling, enlisted in the service not only of the client, but of the public good as well.

Our goal is to promote among the lawyers and judges of Illinois principles of integrity, professionalism and civility; to foster commitment to the elimination of bias and divisiveness within the legal and judicial systems; and ensure that those systems provide equitable, effective and efficient resolution of problems and disputes for the people of Illinois.

Our website is intended to provide information about the work of the Commission; link Illinois lawyers and judges to important resources; serve as a clearinghouse for materials, projects and programs; and allow for the sharing of ideas on how we best preserve the core values of our profession.
