The deadline for applications is 4:00 p.m. on Monday, July 17, 2017. To be considered, applicants must be attorneys in good standing, licensed to practice in Illinois, and residents of the 5th Subcircuit.
Persons who have submitted applications for prior vacancies will be required to submit new applications in order to be considered for this vacancy, according to the Court's press release.

Applicants will also be screened by Justice Theis's special judicial screening committee, cochaired by retired U.S. District Court Judge Wayne R. Andersen and retired Illinois Appellate Court Judge Michael J. Gallagher.
The appointment will be effective until December 3, 2018, when the person elected to fill Judge Washington's vacancy is sworn in.
