We continue to wait for the list of persons filing for the forthcoming class of associate judges in Cook County.
I will have the list here on FWIW just as soon as I can.
Meanwhile, though, somewhere between 250 and 300 of you (if history is any guide) already know that you'll be on that list when it comes out. Many of you have your bar ratings already.
But some of you do not. It is to you---the first time judicial applicants, the previously unrated applicants---that this post is addressed.
Judicial evaluations take time. The associate judge selection process cannot go forward until the evaluations are complete. When the list is published, judicial aspirants who do not have current evaluations from the CBA and the Alliance of Bar Associations of Judicial Screening will be contacted.
But why wait?
If you are among the many applicants for associate judge, and if you have not been previously evaluated, you should reach out as soon as possible to both the Alliance and the CBA and get your evaluations started.
To contact the Alliance, email Joyce Williams, the Alliance Administrator. To contact the CBA, email Therese Kurth.

I AM STARTING THE ARROYO BAR ASSOCIATION. IT WILL BE COMPOSED OF ATTORNEYS WHO SUPPORT THE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE ARROYO ORGANIZATION. YOU WILL BE RATED HIGHLY QUALIFIED ONLY IF YOU ALSO SUPPORT THE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE ARROYO ORGANIZATION
Sign me up. "Highly Qualified" by the ABA (Arroyo Bar Association) is a lot more meaningful than "Qualified" or "Recommended" by CCL.
When is the deadline for the CBA applications to be turned in?
How long are associate judge ratings issued by the alliance good for?
You realize that most of the bar associations JEC members are the trolls talking smack about candidates on this blog, right?
Anon 3/30 @8:45 a.m. -- No, I don't.
And, moreover, I highly doubt it. JEC processes are supposed to be entirely confidential. It would be a gross violation of the oath that JEC members take to 'talk smack' about candidates on this blog based on information obtained in confidential interviews and investigations.
I don't suppose you'd care to provide some---any---evidence for your accusations, would you?
I'll stop now and listen to the crickets.
I'm a lawyer -- I don't need evidence. I just need reasonable doubt and human nature. The rest will fill in the blanks. Cite the rules all you want, but what I say is true.
