About Larry R. Rogers
Larry R. Rogers Sr. has built a long career in trial work that began after law school in the early 1980s. He trained in philosophy as an undergraduate before turning to the law. That intellectual background shows in the way he approaches cases: methodical, patient and willing to take complex matters to a jury if needed.
Rogers earned his J.D. from DePaul College of Law in 1983 after completing a B.A. in Philosophy at St. Xavier University in 1974. The timeline points to steady professional development. He moved from classroom study into courtroom practice and stayed there. His education provided the legal foundation for a practice that now spans state and federal forums.
Over the years Rogers has secured admission to multiple courts. He is admitted to practice in Illinois and before the U.S. Supreme Court. His federal admissions include the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and its Federal Trial Bar, the Eastern District of Wisconsin, and appellate practice in the 6th and 7th Circuits. Those credentials reflect a practice that includes both trial and appellate work.
He is associated with Power Rogers LLP. That firm name appears repeatedly in records of his professional activity. Rogers has represented clients in jury trials, hearings and appeals while operating from that platform. The firm affiliation gives him a base for litigation and for collaborative casework with other lawyers.
Professional memberships form a prominent strand of Rogers’s career. He belongs to the American Association for Justice, the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, the Chicago Bar Association, the Cook County Bar Association and the American Bar Association. He serves as a fellow of the International Society of Barristers, the International Academy of Trial Lawyers and the American College of Trial Lawyers. Rogers also served on the National Bar Association’s Board of Governors as the CCBA affiliate representative from 1990 to 1991, and he has been a member of the Illinois State Bar Association Ad Hoc Committee on Judiciary since 1994.
Colleagues describe Rogers as steady in the courtroom and thorough in preparation. He has combined trial experience and committee work to stay active in bar affairs and judicial selection issues. His practice has encompassed fact development, jury presentation and appellate briefing, and he maintains an active role in bar organizations that address litigation practice and judicial standards.
He continues to practice at Power Rogers LLP, where his work centers on civil litigation, courtroom trials and appellate matters.
