Legal Services

As an administrative agency of the Supreme Court of Illinois, the ARDC assists the Court in regulating the legal profession through attorney registration, education, investigation, prosecution, and remedial action.Through our annual registration process, we compile a list of lawyers authorized to practice law. We provide ready access to that list so that the public, the profession, and courts may access lawyers' credentials and contact information.We educate lawyers through seminars and publications to help them serve their clients effectively and professionally within the bounds of the rules of professional conduct adopted by the Court. We provide guidance to lawyers and to the public on ethics issues through our confidential Ethics Inquiry telephone service. The ARDC handles discipline matters fairly and promptly, balancing the rights of the lawyers involved and the protection of the public, the courts and the legal profession. Grievances are investigated confidentially. Disciplinary prosecutions are adjudicated publicly and result in recommendations to the Court for disposition. Our boards consist of independent, diverse groups of volunteer lawyers and non-lawyers who make recommendations in disciplinary matters. We advocate for restitution and other remedial action in disciplinary matters. We seek to provide reimbursements through our Client Protection Program to those whose funds have been taken dishonestly by Illinois Lawyers who have been disciplined.Like us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ILARDC
