Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.
(20 ILCS 3955/11) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 711)
Sec. 11.
The Legal Advocacy Service shall make available counsel for
eligible persons by referral or by contracting
for legal services to the extent practicable. The Legal Advocacy Service
shall make a good faith effort to assist eligible persons to engage private
counsel, and to contact private counsel for eligible persons whose
disabilities limit their capacity to independently contact private
counsel. If the Legal Advocacy
Service is unable to so make available counsel, it shall provide
attorneys in its own employ.
Taking into consideration the availability of private counsel in the
eligible person's local area, the Commission shall establish, by rule, the
standards and procedures by which it will attempt to assist eligible
persons to engage private counsel.
