Thursday, November 20th

McCormick Theater @ Lake Forest College

(lower level of Lillard Science Center)

 6:30pm - Doors Open

7-8:30pm - Moderated Discussion 

We are excited to have Justice Robert R. Thomas for a discussion on his career in the law and as a Chicago Bears kicker. After serving 6-years on the Illinois Appellate court (2nd District), Justice Thomas was elected to the Illinois Supreme Court in 2000, where he served for nearly 20-years including  8-years as Chief Justice. 

Before his legal career, Justice Thomas was an Academic All-American at the University of Notre Dame, where he kicked the winning field goal in the 1973 Sugar Bowl to secure the national championship. 

Join us and be a part of the discussion!
