"With All Deliberate Speed" IJA President Judge Mark Schuering and the IJA would once again like to invite all IJA members to be part of a team in the Chicago Volunteer Legal Services' annual Race Judicata, which will take place on Thursday, August 9 at 6:30 p.m. at Upper Hutchinson Field, Columbus and Balbo Drive. Race Judicata is a 5K event, and you can run or walk as a member of our team. Those who have attended in the past have found the event to be fun and entertaining (beer and cookies at the finish line!!). We would like to have more Judges in attendance this year. Our team name will remain "With All Deliberate Speed." Please register under the team name "With All Deliberate Speed" so that we can coordinate all participants. The IJA will furnish a shirt (possibly a running singlet this year) for those judges participating. Please let Maureen McClelland know the size that you wish at 312/431-1283 or info@ija.org by July 25th and make sure to give her your email address so that we can update you about our plans. We'll have a designated spot to meet on the day of the race, so watch for future announcements as the date approaches. You can register on line at Active.com (enter Race Judicata) or by faxing to CVLS (312-332-1460) or by mailing or hand delivering your form to the CVLS office at 100 N. LaSalle St., Suite 900, Chicago 60602.

These clients would otherwise not have access to legal services. Last year, Race Judicata raised over $150,000 to assist CVLS in its mission. I hope to see you on August 9th. Stay turned for future announcements. Judge Tom Chiola |
