I take some issue with the Patch’s determination that Mr. Keefer is not a “lawyer”. The bar exam determines whether you should be licensed to practice.

ROCKFORD A portion of a more than 760-page criminal justice reform bill approved by the General Assembly would expand the powers of the state to decertify police officers for misconduct.

If the bill is signed into law by Gov. JB Pritzker, that would change starting in 2022 by providing the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board with expanded powers to weed out bad cops if a review panel finds there was misconduct without requiring a conviction.
