Justice Debra B Walker of the Illinois Appellate Court, First District, received the Illinois State Bar Association’s Carole Bellows Woman of Influence Award on May 13th. This was very meaningful to Debra because former Judge Carole Bellows, the first female ISBA President and first female President of any statewide bar association in the nation, served as Debra’s presiding judge when she was on the Cook County Circuit Court.
