The Illinois Judges Foundation will honor retired Cook County Judge Harold W. Sullivan on Friday, Dec. 11, by presenting a $5,000 scholarship in his name to The John Marshall Law School.
The presentation by Judge Jesse G. Reyes, IJF president, will take place at a noon luncheon conducted by the Illinois Judges Association during its annual convention with the Illinois State Bar Association Dec. 10-12 at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel. The keynote speaker is Judge Ann Claire Williams of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit.
Retired Appellate Justice Warren D. Wolfson, dean of the DePaul University College of Law, will receive a Lifetime Service Award. Presidential Service Awards will be presented to 19th Circuit Judge Raymond McKoski and retired Appellate Justice Mel Jiganti.
The Sullivan Scholarship was established in 1999 as a means of providing financial assistance and advocating ethical values of the legal profession to new generations of Illinois law students. Sullivan, who was presiding judge of the 2nd Municipal District in Skokie for many years, is a founder of the judges association.
Also at the joint luncheon, Richard L. Thies will receive The Founders Award, which recognizes a long term commitment by an individual, who is not a member of the judiciary, to creating and maintaining an independent judiciary.
