The Child Protection Division of the Circuit Court is looking for attorneys to represent indigent parties on appeal. The fees are $150 per hour.
Appellate cases are entirely electronic. Appellate attorney reviews are electronic and when hearings are held, very very rarely, they are via Zoom. You should never need to come to Chicago.
Mentors are provided for attorneys who do not have experience representing parents and children in Child Protection Division.
If interested, contact the Presiding Judge Robert Balanoff at robert.balanoff@cookcountyil.gov for more information.
