A Message From Chief Justice Robert R. Thomas

On behalf of the Supreme Court, I want to thank those individuals who submitted resumes and statements of interest to serve on the Minimum Continuing Legal Education Board. The Court was fortunate to receive a broad and diverse pool of highly qualified applicants from which to select the new nine member Board. The Court's most serious consideration was given to the review of each candidate's materials. By order of the Court, I am pleased to announce that the following individuals have been appointed to serve on the MCLE Board:

Jack L. Brooks
Hon. Michael J. Chmiel
Diana L. Embil
Patrick M. Kinnally
John G. O'Brien
James A. Rapp
George R. Ripplinger
Philip J. Rock
Faye E. Terrell-Perkins

The Court will retain all candidates' resumes and associated materials for future consideration should a vacancy on the MCLE Board occur.

Again, my thanks to all of you for your willingness to serve on the Board. I wish each of you every continued success in your current work.

Thank you for your interest in Illinois MCLE.
