Events

All work and no play makes for gloomy lawyers. We need fun in our lives and pro bono is a great place to discover the joy of being a lawyer. CVLS takes care of its volunteers by hosting events where they can relax, hang out, play golf, run, eat and drink. Oh, yeah, and be honored for their wonderful work.

From Race Judicata, the legal community’s lakefront 5K race/walk to Golf for Justice, from our Annual Award Ceremony to our Holiday Open House, we promise to provide enough play to keep you from being dull.

Race Judicata^®

A lakefront race with great music, delicious food and drinks, picturesque scenery and over 3,000 of Chicago’s most active and affluent judges, lawyers, paralegals and other professionals.

Golf Fore Justice

Play a round with fellow lawyers on tournament-caliber fairways and enjoy a great dinner afterwards. Relish knowing that it’s all for a great cause.

Annual Award Ceremony

Each fall CVLS, joined by judges and bar leaders, recognizes and thanks its wonderful corps of volunteers at a complementary evening reception.
