Law Day Letters explore themes of leadership, values
By Patrick Regan, Chicago Daily Law Bulletin
On this, the 68th annual Law Day, we examine “The Constitution’s Promise: Out of Many, One.” That theme of collaboration is reflected in the letters published here, collected from judges, court officials, association leaders and law school representatives.
These experts share their views on a spectrum of issues in the legal industry, including the role of jurors as the ultimate collaborators; the value of working together to protect the rule of law and the Constitution; and the importance of building public trust in the judicial system.
Sonni Choi Williams, president of the Illinois State Bar Association, shares in her letter: “Now more than ever, it’s incredibly important for legal organizations across Illinois to collaborate to further our shared goal of improving the administration of justice.”
Likewise, Nicky A. Boothe, dean of the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law, calls on the legal community to unite under a common mission. “It is imperative for lawyers to have a renewed commitment to the rule of law, and to explore targeted opportunities to collaborate with each other and to educate the next generation of lawyers (both in and outside the classroom) about the critical importance of this shared goal,” Boothe writes.
Together, Williams, Boothe and other leading legal voices in Illinois form the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin’s 2025 Law Day Letters feature.
