Robert A. Clifford, founder and senior partner at Clifford Law Offices, along with partners Kevin P. Durkin and John V. Kalantzis, will be speaking at the Chicago Bar Association’s continuing legal education (CLE) trip to Greece taking place April 27-May 3, 2026.
Titled “A Comparison of Civil and Criminal Trials in the U.S. and Greece,” the program of Illinois and Greek lawyers spans two half-days and offers six hours of CLE credit. Speakers include Cook County Circuit Court Judge and CBA President Nichole Patton, Cook County Circuit Court Judge Pamela Stratigakis, and Andreas Koutsolampros, President of the Athens Bar Association.
Dozens of lawyers, judges, and their families will be traveling to Athens April 27-30, then moving on to the island of Santorini May 1-3. CBA President Patton says this historic trip will combine Illinois CLE credit plus opportunities to connect with colleagues and enjoy culinary delights in exploring Greece.
