The Women’s Bar Association of Illinois proudly congratulates Hon. Megan Goldish on her installation as President of the Jewish Judges Association of Illinois. This well-deserved honor recognizes Judge Goldish’s distinguished service on the bench and her exceptional leadership in the legal community.
Judge Goldish currently serves as the Recording Secretary and incoming Membership Officer for the WBAI and has previously held presidencies with both the Decalogue Society of Lawyers and the North Suburban Bar Association. Her longstanding commitment to service is reflected not only in her judicial work but in her deep civic engagement.
In addition to her bar leadership, Judge Goldish is involved with several nonprofit organizations. She is co-President of the Chicago Lighthouse Junior Board and serves on the boards of the Lynn Sage Cancer Foundation, the Abolition Institute, Bright Star Community Outreach, and the Women’s Leadership Committee of the Illinois Holocaust Museum.
An alumna of Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, Judge Goldish gives back to the next generation of legal professionals as an adjunct faculty member at both Northwestern and Chicago-Kent College of Law.
The WBAI extends its heartfelt congratulations to Judge Goldish on this exciting new chapter in her leadership journey.
