Family law practitioner Diana López has announced plans to run for the Cook County Circuit Court in the 2022 Democratic Primary. That's a link to her new campaign site in the preceding sentence; when a candidate Sidebar is added to this site, this will be included there as well.
A member of the Illinois Bar since 2001, according to ARDC, López practices with the López Law Group. Her campaign website indicates that she set up this practice in 2010, after leaving the firm of Monteagudo, López & Díaz, LLC. She began her career with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, working in the Child Support Enforcement Division and Child Protection Division from 2001 to 2004.
This would appear to be López's first attempt at being elected to the bench; she is in the most recent pool of applicants for the office of Associate Judge.
Her campaign website notes an extensive record of volunteer service, but López's site highlights work for the "National Immigrant Justice Center, the Chicago Bar Association, and Greenlight Family Services." In 2018, López joined the advisory board of the Schiller DuCanto & Fleck Family Law Center of DePaul University Law School. She has also been an adjunct professor at DePaul, teaching a course in adoption law.

Moose and Squirrel welcome you to the fray. With name like yours, either you run countywide or in 14th subcircuit. Need to check your address and make certain you don’t get mapped out after June 30th.
ReplyDeletePamela Saindon -- a Water Rec lawyer -- has a facebook page saying she is running too.

ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of campaign pages popping up on Facebook, in addition to websites. Better start getting the sidebar ready because by my count, there are at least 10 people out there all roaring to go.
