Philip H. Corboy

Philip H. Corboy, is a Chicago-based trial lawyer who has tried personal injury, wrongful death and medical malpractice cases across the country for over 50 years. He is the founder, along with Thomas A. Demetrio, of the Corboy & Demetrio law firm. Loyola University Chicago School of Law Dean, David Yellen, said "There are very few living lawyers who have had the kind of impact Phil Corboy has. He largely transformed the practice of personal injury law. He’s been a teacher and mentor to a couple of generations of leading lawyers in the country." [1] Corboy’s career was featured in a cover article in Chicago Lawyer, entitled, "Corboy College: Chicago Trial Lawyers’ Alma Mater." [2]

The National Law Journal listed Corboy as one of the top 100 most influential lawyers in America [3] and one of the nation’s top 15 trial lawyers;[4] Chicago Magazine included him in its lists, The Power 100 and Power Lawyers,[5][6] and called him one of the 30 toughest lawyers in Chicago.[7] Law & Business listed him as one of America’s top trial lawyers.[8] He has been in The Best Lawyers in America book since its inception in 1987.[9]

Corboy has written more than 100 articles on legal and business topics and has been the subject of news and features in many publications and television shows. He has appeared on 20/20, 60 Minutes, Face the Nation, Nightline with Ted Koppel, and the Oprah Winfrey Show.[10]

He has been a lecturer and panelist at legal, medical and insurance meetings and conventions around the world and profiles have been written about him by the Wall Street Journal,[11] USA Today,[12] Chicago Magazine,[13] and the Chicago Tribune.[14]

In 2010, he and his wife, Mary Dempsey, made the largest single gift ever to the Loyola University Chicago School of Law. In recognition, Loyola renamed its law school building the Philip H. Corboy Law Center.[15]

In addition to numerous honors from religious organizations, legal associations and publications, Corboy was awarded an honorary Doctor of Law Degree from the John Marshall Law School [16] and St. Ambrose University.

He is a former president of the Chicago Bar Association and the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association [17] and a former chairman of the Section on Litigation of the American Bar Association. Corboy served as general counsel for the Illinois Democratic Party and has served on the boards of directors of business, legal and charitable groups and as a member of task forces for courts, judicial and medical-related entities. He has been active in national and international associations such as the Inner Circle of Advocates, International Academy of Trial Lawyers, American College of Trial Lawyers, International Society of Barristers, American Board of Trial Advocates, and American Association for Justice.
