Those courts include the United States Supreme Court, United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, Illinois Supreme Court, and all five districts of the Illinois Appellate Court.

The areas of law involved in these cases vary widely and include such diverse topics as constitutional law, administrative law, prisoner rights, labor law, tax law, employment discrimination, unemployment compensation, education, child support, jurisdiction, and immunities. The Division also handles administrative review matters that proceed directly to the appellate court from state agencies such as the Illinois Human Rights Commission, Labor Relations Boards, Pollution Control Board, and Property Tax Appeal Board.<br>

Attorneys in the Division manage their own caseloads under the guidance of the Division Chief, Deputy Division Chiefs, and Supervising Attorneys, and are responsible for briefing and arguing their own appeals.</p></div>
