Summary/Notes: The Law Library was awarded a grant for $4000 in July of 2025. This grant is for a pilot for the Online IICLE Library. IICLE publications provide in-depth analysis and forms for specific areas of law in Illinois. There are IICLEs for everything from Adoption Law to Deeds in Lieu of Foreclosure to Trust Administration and much more. The Law Library currently has updated print copies of these titles but only at our Daley Center location due to the cost of maintaining copies at each of the six Law Library branches. The Online Library is a cost-effective approach to providing equitable access at all locations.
The Illinois Institute of Continuing Legal Education offers an invoice and Subscription Terms of Use rather than a contract. Within the Terms of Use document is language regarding indemnification. Given this language in the Subscription Terms of Use, the Cook County Law Library respectfully requests that the Board provide approval to proceed with an agreement to subscribe to the Illinois Institute of Continuing Legal Education Online Library.
