Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois
Recording conversations with co-workers
Can I legally record conversations between myself and a coworker? I am encountering harrassment from this person and to avoid a ''he said'' - ''she said'' situation, I'd like to record my conversations with her to validate my statements to my employer.

Under Illinois law, not without the other party's permission.

No, you may not. It is illegal.
