Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker will speak to the American Bar Association House of Delegates on Monday, Aug. 5, at approximately 9 to 9:30 a.m. CDT at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Chicago, during the 2024 ABA Annual Meeting.
Pritzker was elected as the 43rd governor of Illinois in 2018 and reelected in 2022. He is also a prominent business leader and philanthropist in Chicago, and a lawyer, having earned a juris doctor degree in 1993 from Northwestern University. He is a member of the American Bar Association, the Illinois State Bar Association and the Chicago Bar Association.
The ABA House of Delegates, the association’s policymaking body, will meet Aug. 5-6 to consider more than three dozen matters, including resolutions challenging government actions that would require the display of the Ten Commandments in public schools and other actions that would interfere with medical access for gender-affirming care. Other pending resolutions focus on experiential opportunities for law students, the treatment of homeless people with mental disabilities and several that advocate for human rights in specific countries.
The 2024 ABA Annual Meeting, which runs July 31 to Aug. 6 at the Hyatt Regency and other locations throughout the city, is the premier national legal gathering, with a robust schedule of sessions on leading legal issues and a half-day summit discussing ways to ensure an enduring American democracy.
