Associate Judge Daniel Jasica of the Lake County Chancery Court will speak on how judges are selected, judicial independence and ethics, and the differences between state and federal courts. Jasica, a Northwestern Law graduate and former chief deputy state's attorney in Lake County, has served on the 19th Judicial Circuit bench since 2014.

Cost is $35, including a buffet lunch. Plymouth Place residents are also welcome. To register, contact Andrea Martonffy at amartonffy@aol.com.

The league's Annual Meeting on June 16 will include a member vote on the organization's civic priorities for the next one to two years. Co-Presidents Curt Hansman and Barbara Lamb said in a May 5 newsletter that after a busy run-up to the recent primaries, the Board has been "catching its breath and looking ahead to the general election in November."
