  The Appellate Lawyers Association of Illinois (ALA) Cordially Invites You to Attend our Virtual Program

  Lincoln’s Law Practice

  Professor Samuel Wheeler, the Illinois Supreme Court’s Director of History Programs, will discuss Abraham Lincoln’s law practice. We’re fortunate to have an extensive record of the cases Abraham Lincoln handled as an Illinois lawyer. Though known to history as a great president, he also spent many years as a practicing attorney, appearing as counsel of record in approximately 175 cases before the Illinois Supreme Court. Professor Wheeler will discuss the types of cases Lincoln handled and give the audience a sense of how he made his name in the years leading up to his presidency.

  Location:  Online. You will receive a Microsoft Teams link via email after registering for this event. (Please note only speakers will be visible, so participants need not dress formally for this event.)

  Cost: Free for ALA members and $25 for non-members.

  CLE Credit:  Participants will earn 1.0 hour of credit for this event. The ALA is an approved MCLE provider
