About CDEL

Founded in 1984 by the Young Lawyers Section of the Chicago Bar Association, CDEL is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and advancing the legal rights of low-income persons with disabilities and senior citizens in Cook County.  

 

BREAKING NEWS:

CDEL Chief Legal Officer Thomas Wendt participated in a panel discussion on Elder Financial Abuse at the Elder Law Initiative: Summer Institute on Aging, hosted by Loyola University Law School. 

CDEL Executive Director, Michael Roth, was recently appointed the Chair of the Mental Health & Disability Law Committee of the Chicago Bar Association’s Young Lawyer’s Section.

 

CDEL's Mission

CDEL provides pro bono legal services through the combined efforts of a modest in-house staff and an active network of hundreds of volunteer attorneys, paralegals, and law students from top law firms and academic institutions. 

In this way, CDEL services a dual mission:

(1) To provide Cook County's most deserving yet underrepresented individuals with access to high quality legal services; and

(2) To foster pro bono culture throughout the Chicago area legal community.
