Continuing Legal Education Seminars
The Will County Bar Association is proud to inform members that the association is an accredited provider. The seminars are always free to our members and will be sponsored by the various committees within the WCBA.
Committees
The WCBA maintains a number of committees that provide useful services such as CLE seminars, rule proposals, participation in the judicial poll and this website. Members of the Will County Bar are urged to join a committee as participation from all committees and their members are very important to the growth of our association and other WCBA members.
