The Don Hubert Scholars program exposes boys to the legal profession via a one-day mock-trial competition wherein the boys serve as the lawyers and witnesses.

A 1973 graduate of the University of Michigan Law School who was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1974, Donald Hubert practiced in Chicago until his untimely death November 2016 of a heart attack at age 58. A past president of the Chicago Bar Association, he received its Justice John Paul Stevens Award last year and was a previous recipient of the Carl H. Rolewick Award from the Lawyers’ Assistance Program. Hubert’s professional and civic contributions were extolled by three ISBA Laureates – Jerold Solovy, Kimball Anderson and James Montgomery – in special tributes published in the January issue of the CBA Record. ISBA past president J. Timothy Eaton called Hubert a lawyer’s lawyer and consummate professional who “deeply cared about lawyers” and was ready to help anybody who needed his assistance.
