About this event

Please join the League as we learn about how recent criminal justice reforms introduced in Illinois are working out.

Attendees will hear about the current state of a  range of criminal justice reforms. Guest panelists are expected to discuss the SAFE-T Act, which set up cashless bond and more, the new Fair Act, considered a significant reform to Illinois' public defense system, and the Clean Slate Act, that includes provisions for automatic sealing of nonviolent criminal records. 

Panelists

  • Chief Judge Casey Costigan, Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court (IL)
  • Judge Amy McFarland, Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court (IL)
  • Toy Beasley, President of McLean County Reentry Council

Registration is not required, but appreciated to help with planning. 


The program is free and open to all members of the community. Bring your friends!
