From: Workers’ Comp Commission Chairman

Please be advised that the Illinois Attorney General's computer system has become disabled.  This has rendered it impossible for the members of the Attorney General's Office to access their e-mail, calendars, and file notes.  Because of the difficulties now being experienced, the Attorney General's Office may be unable to proceed with matters that are set in the coming days.  

Further, they may be unable to respond to e-mail correspondence.  If for some reason an Assistant Attorney General does not appear for a matter that is set for hearing (pre-trial or trial) in the coming days, we have asked that the Commissioners and Arbitrators continue these cases. 

The Attorney General's Office will notify us when their system is back in operation. We will likewise notify the Bar of any additional developments. 

Sincerely, 

Michael J. Brennan 
Chairman
