CBA evaluations in the race for the Urso vacancy in the 11th Subcircuit

The Chicago Bar Association has released its evaluations of candidates running for the Urso vacancy in the 11th Subcircuit. Candidates are listed in ballot order. All of the following are candidates in the Democratic primary; no Republican filed for this Circuit Court vacancy.

Lisa Ann Marino -- Qualified
Lisa A. Marino is “Qualified” for the office of Circuit Court Judge. Ms. Marino was admitted to practice law in Illinois in 1988 and is currently engaged in private practice concentrating in real estate tax, commercial and residential real estate law, and zoning matters. Ms. Marino is highly regarded for her knowledge of real estate tax law and has general litigation experience. Ms. Marino has a fine demeanor and possesses all the requisite qualifications to serve as a Circuit Court Judge.
Pamela McLean Meyerson -- Qualified
Pamela McLean Meyerson is “Qualified” for the office of Circuit Court Judge. Ms. Meyerson was admitted to practice law in Illinois in 1983 and has concentrated her practice in civil litigation, appeals and business law. Ms. Meyerson has considerable trial experience and is well regarded by her adversaries and by the judges before whom she has appeared. Ms. Meyerson is serving as chair in the Cook County Arbitration Program and is also an instructor for the University of Chicago’s Legal Clinic. Ms. Meyerson possesses all the requisite qualifications to serve as a Circuit Court Judge.
Deborah J. Fortier -- Not Recommended
The candidate declined to participate in the Judicial Evaluation Committee (JEC) screening process and, therefore, according to The Chicago Bar Association’s governing resolution for the JEC, is automatically found NOT RECOMMENDED.
Jennifer Blanc -- Not Recommended
Jennifer Blanc is “Not Recommended” for the office of Circuit Court Judge. Ms. Blanc was admitted to practice law in Illinois in 1999 and is currently engaged in the solo practice of law concentrating in bankruptcy, probate, and real estate law. Ms. Blanc is well regarded for her work ethic and fine demeanor. Ms. Blanc has been practicing law for slightly more than 12 years and has limited practice and court experience. Additional practice experience would better prepare Ms. Blanc for service as a Circuit Court Judge.
