Saper Law regularly litigates complicated and contentious cases in both state and federal court. Oftentimes, our clients ask about the process and how a judge may rule on the motions we file. 

We are fortunate enough to have the Honorable Judge Debra Walker at Saper Law's May 17th Lunch and Learn to help field some of those questions.  Drawing from her 14 years of judicial experience and 21 years of practice as a civil defense trial lawyer, Judge Walker will provide an inside perspective into the court system. As part of her presentation, Judge Walker will discuss some of the biggest mistakes litigants and their attorneys make.

Judge Walker is in the midst of her campaign for Illinois Appellate Court. She was elected to the Cook County Circuit Court in 2008, and primarily handles pre-trials and trials of financially complex divorces.

As a leader on the court, Judge Walker has served as Chair of the Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism. A firm believer in judicial equity, Judge Walker served on the board of the Access to Justice Commission from 2012 to 2018, after being appointed by the Illinois Supreme Court. She was also found Highly Qualified for the Appellate Court by the CBA and is a past president of the Women’s Bar.
