Located in Burr Ridge, Illinois, Codilis and Associates represents clients in need of real estate law assistance. The team at Codilis & Associates is associated with the Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA).
ISBA has created the Rural Practice Fellowship Program to assist law firms in small towns and rural communities by connecting with law clerks, law students, and new attorneys. The program was created as a result of data that showed only 0.7 lawyers are available per 1,000 residents in more than half of the counties in Illinois. The numbers also revealed that in 35 of the state’s counties, 10 or fewer attorneys are in private practice, and in 13 counties, five or fewer attorneys are in private practice. Many counties have no more than two or three lawyers in private practice. This shortage has resulted in the ISBA creating two fellowship programs to attract attorneys to Illinois. The Rural Practice Summer Fellows Program, a $5,000 fellowship, was designed to attract law students to small Illinois communities to get a taste of rural law before they graduate. The Rural Practice Associate Fellows Program, which also provides the attorney with a $5,000 stipend, places new attorneys and lawyers who have recently graduated with rural practitioners and gives them an additional $5,000 stipend if they are still with the firm after one year.
