The Consulate is directed by a Consul General, a career diplomat, under whose authority falls a vast jurisdiction, comprising the following States: Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming. According to the estimates of this office more than 22,000 Italian citizens live in State of Illinois and over 30,000 live in the entire jurisdiction. In addition, according to a recent census compiled by agencies of the United States, approximately 735,000 American citizens of Italian origin live in Illinois and 1,435,000 live in the before mentioned jurisdiction.
Presiding over a vast territory, inhabited by over 65 million people, the Consulate General in Chicago is separated by more than a thousand miles from some of the furthest locations included in its jurisdiction. For this reason, a network of Honorary Consular offices was established, which is currently composed of four Honorary Vice Consulates and a pair of Consular Correspondents located in areas with higher concentration of Italian citizens.
Since the founding of the Justinian Society of Lawyers in 1921
This venerable institution has become one of the largest ethnic bar associations in the United States. Our members are among the most active and influential in the legal profession. The society takes great pride in its contributions to the practice of law and to the administration of the justice system.
Like any successful organization, The Justinian Society is dependent on the involvement of its members. Perhaps it is the commonality of Italian heritage or the fellowship of professionals; it is nonetheless gratifying to observe the consistently high level of participation of our members. For these reasons, the society continues to grow as a dynamic force in the legal community while retaining a special place in the heart of each member.
