The Illinois Supreme Court today appointed Cook County Associate Judge Samuel J. Betar III to a 13th Subcircuit vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Ann O'Donnell.
Betar's appointment is effective July 28; it terminates December 3, 2018.
Judge O'Donnell was first elected to the Circuit Court in 2008; she was retained in 2014.
Hello all,
ReplyDeleteI have never understood a move like this. He was set for life as an associate judge. Now he will have to spend a fortune to be elected to the same job he had. Is the small bump in pay worth it? I think not.
As always, E.P.
