YOU'RE INVITED TO JUDGE'S NIGHT
THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 2026 | NATIONAL HELLENIC MUSEUM

The invitations have been sent, and the responses are already pouring in from Federal Court, Illinois Supreme, Appellate and Circuit Court Judges from Cook, DuPage, Lake, and Will Counties. We are expecting another sell-out crowd this year, especially with the night belonging to Hon. Thomas V. Lyons as our Socrates Dikastes Award recipient. Additionally, we will be recognizing Hon. Emmanuel Koubarakis & Hon. Georgia Tasiopoulou with The Koinonia Award for Distinguished Community Service and acknowledging Hon. Timothy C. Evans, 2017 Socrates Dikastes award recipient, for his years of service as Chief Judge.

We have the entire National Hellenic Museum for our Judge’s Night, but tickets are expected to sell out fast. Law students are encouraged to attend with a discounted rate. As usual, we will have multiple top-shelf open bars and pass savory and sweet hors d'oeuvres throughout the night for all to enjoy. A DJ will play contemporary Greek music all night and the rooftop will open following the award presentations. Join us for an evening of camaraderie under the backdrop of the city skyline. Enjoy the relaxed and fun opportunity to socialize with the judiciary, fellow Greek attorneys and Philhellenes alike.
