IICLE SmartBooks
IICLE stands for Illinois Institute of Continuing Legal Education. Known for decades for their informative, practiitoner-oriented handbooks on Illinois law, IICLE duplicated its content online a few years ago. IICLE SmartBooks, located at https://www-iicle-com.proxy.uchicago.edu/SmartBooks/Default.aspx or from the D'Angelo Law Library webpage under Law Databases, has a digital version of each of the IICLE course textbooks and handbooks, in an easy-to-use, intuitive format. Browse by title or search by keyword, limiting to the practice area that interests you. The handbooks are displayed on a three-column screen. The first chapter begins on the middle column; the left-hand column has an interactive Table of Contents and the right-hand column has links to forms associated with the chapter. Each chapter can be downloaded in its entirety as a PDF file. The content is concise and to the point, while containing citations to the statutes, regulations and important cases. Take a look, and keep it in mind when researching Illinois law issues.
