No matter what the Census Bureau says, Chicago has no plans to change its nickname to the Third City anytime soon. But at 2.7 million ­citizens within its borders alone, Chicago is the nation’s third most populous city and the heart of the six-county metro area of 9.54 million.

All of the city’s legal business is handled by corporation counsel’s department, which employs roughly 270 lawyers in a 400 full-time-employee operation that handles all legal business for the mayor’s office, the Chicago City Council and all city departments.
