Judge Mary Anne Mason assigned to Appellate Court

In an order entered yesterday, the Illinois Supreme Court assigned Judge Mary Anne Mason to the Illinois Appellate Court.

Judge Mason, who presently sits in the Chancery Division, will assume her new duties on July 8, after Justice David P. Sterba retires.

Justice Sterba was also serving in the Appellate Court by assignment. His July 1 resignation will open up a vacancy in the 15th Judicial Subcircuit for the 2014 election cycle.
