Join the Illinois Bar Foundation at the ISBA Midyear Meeting in Chicago as we honor three esteemed members of our Illinois legal community at our annual Champions Breakfast. We are proud to present this year’s Distinguished Service to Law & Society Awards to Irene F. Bahr (Bahr Anderson Law Group LLC) and the Honorable Naomi H. Schuster (Circuit Court of Cook County), and this year’s Honorary Champion Award to Daniel F. Konicek (Konicek & Dillon).

The Distinguished Service to Law & Society Award is presented in recognition of our honorees’ many significant contributions to law and society, including dedicated service through the Illinois Bar Foundation and its Champions. The Honorary Champion Award is presented to attorneys of distinction whose professional and public careers set an example to which others aspire.
