RICO Bar Photo Sittings
2019-10-10 10:30 - 14:30, 2019-10-14 14:00 - 18:00 UTC | IL
If you’ve been to the old courthouse, you’ve seen the composite photos of our past bar association members. Now it’s your turn! The Bar is also undertaking its own history project and having the old composite photos scanned digitally to post on the bar website, and to ensure they are preserved.
The composite print of the 2020 Bar Association Members in good standing print will be approximately 40×60 with each photo measuring approximately 1” high to accommodate our 300+ members. Fetography Portraits LLC normally charges $150 for a headshot with digital release, but members of the bar will only pay a fee of $65, resulting in a HUGE discount. This does include retouching on the photo. Members will be allowed the digital rights to the photo and can also purchase a smaller unframed print of the whole composite for a cost of $50. Payment must be made to the Rock island County Bar Association at the time of your sitting, or, sent in advance online or via mail with the attached order form invoice.
Sittings will be available on a first-come, first-served basis with an open call style sitting. Each photo will likely take 1-3 minutes per person. The photographer will have a backdrop and lighting. The photo will be a head and shoulders portrait; please dress professionally with little to no pattern in your attire. Please bring a business card to your photo session
Sitting dates will be October 10 from 10:30-2:30 at the courthouse law library, and October 14 from 2-6 at the Fall CLE location and before the Fall bar meeting that evening.
The composite will be revealed at the courthouse Annex in January of 2020

Your Vote • Your Voice • Our Democracy: The 19th Amendment at 100

In 2019-2020, the United States is commemorating the centennial of the transformative constitutional amendment that guaranteed the right of citizens to vote would not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex. American women fought for, and won, the vote through their voice and action.
The women’s suffrage movement forever changed America, expanding representative democracy and inspiring other popular movements for constitutional change and reform. Yet, honest reflection on the suffrage movement reveals complexity and tensions over race and class that remain part of the ongoing story of the Nineteenth Amendment and its legacies.

Law Day 2022 – The Constitution in Times of Change

The Constitution is a dynamic document, as it not only outlines a blueprint for government, but also delegates power, articulates rights, and offers mechanisms for change. It is neither perfect, nor exhaustive, as our nation’s history makes clear. Legislation, court rulings, amendments, lawyers, and “we the people” have built upon those original words across generations to attempt to make the “more perfect Union” more real. That effort continues today, as contemporary leaders and everyday citizens raise their voices as loud as ever to fulfill the promise of the Constitution. Defining and refining those words of the Constitution might be our oldest national tradition, and how each of us works—together—toward a more perfect Union.
The 2022 Law Day Luncheon is jointly sponsored by the Bar Associations of Rock Island County, Illinois and Scott County, Iowa and will be held on Monday May 2, 2022 at the TaxSlayer Center located at 1201 River Drive, Moline, Illinois. Check-in begins at 11:30 a.m., with lunch being served at 11:45. Please see attached invitation for further details and RSVP information.
Plan to stay after lunch for a pro bono opportunity answering questions on the Free Legal Answers Platform hosted by PILI! [See attached flyer] or click to register https://pili.org/event/fourteenth-jcpbc-law-day-free-legal-answers-clinic/
