As of November 3, a total of 1,804 men and women were certified as candidates and will be sworn in as Illinois attorneys Thursday at ceremonies in the five Supreme Court judicial districts. Phillip J. Rock, former state senator and former president of the Illinois Senate, will make the motion to admit the class. His daughter, Colleen, is a member of the class. Representatives from various bar groups will also be in attendance. The new attorneys will bring the total number of licensed attorneys in Illinois to more than 75,000.
