Our latest Featured Speaker is Megan O’Malley of O’Malley & Madden, P.C.!

Megan is speaking at our 16th Annual Illinois Circuit Court Boot Camp: The Nuts and Bolts, on October 27 and 29, 2026!

You’ll hear throughout the program from four sitting Circuit Court judges, Hon. Patricia O’Brien Sheahan (tentative pending trial), Hon. Eileen Marie O’Connor, Hon. Chloé G. Pedersen, and Hon. John H. Ehrlich (Part 1, tentative pending trial), who will provide candid commentary on what they see in their courtrooms every day, what works, and what doesn’t. Their perspectives, combined with practical instruction from experienced plaintiff and defense litigators, make this program a must for anyone practicing in Illinois Circuit Court.

Now in its 16th year, our Illinois Circuit Court Boot Camp remains the preeminent litigation training program in the state for attorneys handling (or returning to) state court practice.

Megan is co-teaching “Mastering Depositions: Strategy, Preparation, Objections, and Effective Use” on October 27, along with Kim R. Walberg.

If your attorneys can’t attend live, the full program is available via OnDemand Streaming or Recorded Package Downloads. Group licenses are available for firms and agencies.
