Illinois State Bar Association

Judicial Advisory Poll

2019 Reappointment of Associate Judges

Associate Judge Reappointment

Associate judges are subject to reappointment every four years. The reappointment is accomplished through the casting of secret ballots by circuit court judges in their circuit. Successful candidates receive votes that tally three-fifths (60%) or greater in favor of their reappointment. Voting will be concluded prior to the beginning of the new associate judge terms. The new term of office for each reappointed associate judge will begin on July 1, 2019, and terminate on June 30, 2023.

Illinois State Bar Association Judicial Advisory Polls This poll of lawyers is conducted by the Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA). ISBA attorneys in each judicial circuit (except Cook County) are mailed a ballot containing the names of every associate judge seeking reappointment in their circuit. Licensed attorneys who are not members of ISBA may request a ballot. Attorneys are asked to respond only if they have sufficient knowledge about the associate judge’s qualifications for judicial office to give a fair, informed opinion. Associate judges are rated “recommended” or “not recommended” based on whether respondents agree that the associate judge “meets acceptable requirements for the office.” Associate judges receiving 65 percent or more “yes” responses to that question are rated “recommended” and associate judges receiving less than 65 percent are rated “not recommended.” Opinions expressed in the poll are of those attorneys who chose to respond and do not reflect the opinion of the Illinois State Bar Association or the opinion of all attorneys.

Although the decision on associate judge reappointment is made by circuit judges, the Illinois State Bar Association is releasing these poll results to the public, because all judges are public officials and the opinions of their professional colleagues about their performance is of public interest.

Associate Judge Reappointment Poll

Associate judges are subject to reappointment every four years. The reappointment is accomplished through the casting of secret ballots by circuit court judges in their circuit. Successful candidates receive votes that tally three-fifths (60%) or greater in favor of their reappointment. Voting will be concluded prior to the beginning of the new associate judge terms. The new term of office for each reappointed associate judge will begin on July 1, 2019, and terminate on June 30, 2023.

Although the decision on associate judge reappointment is made by circuit judges, the Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA) is releasing these poll results to the public, because all judges are public officials and the opinions of their professional colleagues about their performance is of public interest.

How Judicial Advisory Polls Work This poll of lawyers is conducted by the ISBA. ISBA attorneys in each judicial circuit (except Cook County) are mailed a ballot containing the names of every associate judge seeking reappointment in their circuit. Licensed attorneys who are not members of ISBA may request a ballot. Attorneys are asked to respond only if they have sufficient knowledge about the associate judge’s qualifications for judicial office to give a fair, informed opinion. Associate judges are rated “recommended” or “not recommended” based on whether respondents agree that the associate judge “meets acceptable requirements for the office.” Associate judges receiving 65 percent or more “yes” responses to that question are rated “recommended” and associate judges receiving less than 65 percent are rated “not recommended.” Opinions expressed in the poll are of those attorneys who chose to respond and do not reflect the opinion of the Illinois State Bar Association or the opinion of all attorneys.

The following questions are asked.

In your opinion, with respect to this judicial office and in off-the-bench conduct affecting the judicial office, will the candidate:

Meets Requirements of Office: (Recommendation) Considering the qualifications of the candidate, do you believe this candidate meets acceptable requirements for the office?

Integrity

Adhere to the high standards of integrity and ethical conduct required of the office?

Impartiality Act and rule impartially and free of any predisposition or improper influence?

Legal Ability

Have adequate legal experience, knowledge, and ability?

Temperament Exercise the judicial temperament to serve with appropriate courtesy, consideration, firmness, fairness, patience and dignity?

Court Management Diligently and promptly attend to the duties of the office and assure the steady progress of court business.

Health Have the physical, mental and emotional health, stamina and stability needed to perform judicial duties?

Sensitivity to Diversity and Bias Conduct self and deal with others appropriately to reduce or eliminate conduct or words which manifest bias based on race, gender, national origin, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation or socio-economic status against parties, witnesses, counsel or others?
