Volunteer
“Every month during the school year the FBA solicits attorneys from around the city to lead 2-3 short sessions at the Legal Prep Charter Academy—an open-enrollment charter school on Chicago’s West Side with a unique law-themed curriculum that strives to prepare its students for secondary education and successful careers in the law or otherwise”
If you’re interested in becoming a part of this dynamic organization, there are many ways to get involved. You can join as a general member, volunteer on one of our committees, or even consider a leadership role on the board. Each opportunity offers a chance to contribute to meaningful programs, expand your professional network, and make a tangible impact in Chicago's legal community.
For more information about membership or volunteer opportunities, please contact our Chapter President, Erin Franzblau, at efranzblau@crokefairchild.com.
