WHICH JUDGES SHOULD YOU VOTE FOR IN THE COOK COUNTY ELECTION?
The February 2, 2010 primary election is nearly upon us and many of you may be asking yourself the same question family and friends ask me: "For whom should I vote?" For Cook County residents, I refer them to the guide created by the Chicago Bar Association's Judicial Evaluation Committee (JEC). The "pocket guide" is a summary of the JEC's recommendations and is small enough to print and bring into the polling booth. The JEC was created to inform the public and the courts of the "qualifications, independence and integrity of judicial candidates."
