Wright takes runoff for final associate judge slot

FWIW is a little late to the party, but the AOIC has announced James A. Wright as the winner of the runoff for the 17th and final spot in this year's class of Cook County associate judges.

Presently of counsel to the firm of Chico & Nunes, P.C., and licensed as an attorney in Illinois since 1989, Wright has also served as Chief of Staff for the Chicago Board of Education, as Inspector General for the Illinois Toll Highway Authority, and as the Executive Inspector General ("EIG") for the Agencies, Board and Commissions under the Illinois Governor, (the Office of the Executive Inspector General, or "OEIG"). Wright obtained a CPA in 1981 and also holds an MBA.
