Our June FLASHPOINTS Author Spotlight recognizes Phillip Lenzini, who most recently served as a contributing author of SPECIAL DISTRICTS (IICLE®, 2026).
Lenzini identified IICLE as a valuable resource early in his 50-year career: “Long before I specialized my practice in Illinois local governments, I recognized the programs, and especially the materials produced by IICLE on a wide range of legal topics, were a critical part of a successful practice.” His firm has shared that view as well, retaining IICLE publications in their law library well before Illinois mandated continuing legal education and as early as Lenzini’s start as an attorney.
Lenzini remarked, “I was pleased when many years ago I was first asked by an IICLE editor to be a contributing author and for every edition I’ve been involved in since. Those resources are of the highest quality and among the most useful and respected materials we have in Illinois in my view.”
Phillip Lenzini is Of Counsel at Heyl, Royster, Voelker & Allen, P.C., in Peoria, where he focuses his practice on local government and public libraries. Lenzini is a member of the Illinois State Bar Association and has been the Illinois Library Association’s Library Luminary Honoree. He received his BA magna cum laude from Southern Illinois University and his JD from Southern Illinois University School of Law. His law school later named him Alumnus of the Year and gave him its Alumni Achievement Award.
