Almost complete: Alliance retention grids updated today

This latest update was released at noon today. Almost all the blanks are filled in, as you can see. (Click on any image to enlarge or clarify.)

The Alliance of Bar Associations for Judicial Screening is comprised of the Arab American Bar Association (AABAR) (the newest Alliance member), the Asian American Bar Association of Greater Chicago (AABA), the Black Women Lawyers' Association of Greater Chicago (BWLA), the Chicago Council of Lawyers (CCL), the Cook County Bar Association (CCBA), the Decalogue Society of Lawyers (DSL), the Hellenic Bar Association of Illinois (HBA), the Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois (HLAI), the Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA), the Lesbian and Gay Bar Association of Chicago (LAGBAC), the Puerto Rican Bar Association of Illinois (PRBA), and the Women's Bar Association of Illinois (WBAI), working collaboratively to improve the process of screening judicial candidates in Cook County, Illinois.

The Alliance does not include the Chicago Bar Association (CBA), which maintains its own evaluation process. (Click here for a post on the CBA's retention evaluations.)

Jack,

As always, you are ignoring the biggest story out there: Ken Griffin. Ken just dumped $2.5M into a PAC to defeat Tom Kilbride. And guess who he will be targeting in 2022? Mary Jane better change her name to Marijuana to curry favor with the pothead vote because Ken is targeting the Supreme and Appellate Courts next cycle. And Madigan don't care! Anyone up for appellate or supreme court retention in 2022 is in for a brave new world. And Madigan don't care.

Uhhh, why would Griffen or anyone spend any money to try to dump Theis, or any one of the Cook County SC judges?? When it is highly likely such an effort would fail in Cook Co. and when it is 99% certain a Dem would replace such judge?? This post is nonsense.
