Women Everywhere: Partners In Service Project (WE) bills itself as "a non-profit organization driven by the volunteer efforts and goodwill of attorneys, judges, bar associations and others in the Chicagoland legal community. WE volunteers are dedicated to creating opportunities for women and children in need through education and community service. WE hosted young women virtually this year for education days, providing a prospective into the legal profession. WE again will offer scholarships to college-bound young girls."

Hey, Evans. How about spending more time to actually creating a plan for fully reopening the court. Jury trials in the Law Division would be a great start. This guy needs to go because he is completely and totally out of touch. I have trial dates in DuPage, Lake, Will. But Cook? All I get are laughs and snorts from "judges" about when jury trials will resume. Meanwhile they are doing "hearings" via Zoom while sitting in the Wisconsin/Michigan summer homes and taking several weeks to enter orders from the so-called "hearings." What a joke.
