Chicago is a hub of activity in the Midwest. Residents can take part in the nightlife found along the lakefront, watch a Cubs game at historic Wrigley Field, and then eat their sorrows away with some of Chicago's signature hot dogs, deep dish pizza, and kielbasa. Gorging on rich food, however, won't prepare you for an unexpected legal issue, but reading the articles below just might. They contain information about Chicago's local laws on wide ranging legal topics, including DUI, car accidents, and crime. You can also find information on local courthouses and free and low cost legal services.
