Who Sits Where -- Slating Week Edition

This is an update of a post that appeared most recently in June.

The Illinois State Board of Elections has released its list of judicial vacancies for the 2014 election. Here is the list of Cook County vacancies showing, where applicable, the identity of the person appointed to each vacancy by the Illinois Supreme Court. There may be (and often are) additional vacancies, some of which may be filled by the Supreme Court before this list closes in November. (There is a special filing period for judicial vacancies occurring between November 11 and December 2.)
As always, all errors or omissions in this list are mine alone and I am grateful for additions and corrections provided.
