Vote for Qualified and Highly Qualified Judicial Candidates in February Primary Election

The Chicago Bar Association (CBA) Judicial Evaluation Committee (JEC) is pleased to present its evaluations of judicial candidates running for vacancies on the Illinois Appellate Court and the Circuit Court of Cook County in the February 2, 2010, Primary Election. The JEC conducts evaluations of candidates for judicial offices and sitting judges seeking retention within Cook County. As a service to the public, the CBA reports the findings of the JEC for all elections. The evaluations are designed to inform the public and the courts of the qualifications, independence and integrity of judicial candidates. The CBA believes that the quality of the administration of justice in our courts is determined in large part by the quality of our judges.
