Illinois Civil Justice League makes four endorsements in Cook County judicial races

From IllinoisJudges.net:

The Illinois Civil Justice League, through JUSTPAC, the ICJL’s political action committee, has endorsed the following candidates for circuit court vacancies in the February 5 primary election.

The ICJL and JUSTPAC intend to endorse additional candidates in the 2008 General Election and candidates who are unopposed in the primary were not evaluated for this first endorsement.

All candidates for judicial office in Illinois were invited – twice – to respond to the Illinois Civil Justice League’s candidate questionnaire and to provide additional information about themselves and their qualifications.

Only candidates who responded were considered for endorsement. All the information provided by the candidates, including their response to the ICJL questionnaire, is available on IllinoisJudges.net. Information about the candidates may be found by following the links to their pages on IllinoisJudges.net.

Here are the ICJL endorsements; I've linked the candidate's names to their respective pages on IllinoisJudges.net.
