By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Jefferson Park · April 16, 2026

Jefferson Park residents looking for guidance on everyday legal questions are in luck — and it won't cost them a dime. The Jefferson Park Neighborhood Association has announced that Bob Glaves, Executive Director of the Chicago Bar Foundation, will be the featured guest at its upcoming community meeting on Wednesday, April 29. Glaves has led the Chicago Bar Foundation since 1999 and will share information about free and affordable legal resources available to Chicagoans, along with practical guidance on how residents can get help with the kinds of legal problems that commonly come up in everyday life.

It's exactly the kind of practical, community-first programming that makes the JPNA such a cornerstone of life on the Northwest Side. Whether you're navigating a landlord dispute, need help understanding a contract, or simply want to know where to turn if a legal issue ever arises, this is a rare chance to get answers straight from one of Chicago's leading legal access advocates — right in your own neighborhood.

The April 29 JPNA meeting is free and open to all Jefferson Park residents. Meanwhile, Jefferson Park's community calendar is stacked this spring: don't forget that Jefferson Park Forward's annual Bar Crawl fundraiser is coming up on Saturday, April 25, kicking off at 2 p.m. at Windsor Tavern and hitting five neighborhood bars. Whether you're raising a pint on the 25th or raising a legal question on the 29th, Jefferson Park has something for everyone this month!
