Lisa Taylor to make 2022 judicial bid

Lisa Taylor is planning a 2022 judicial campaign. That's a link to her campaign website in the preceding sentence; this link will be added to the candidate list in this site's Sidebar when it is set up.

Licensed as an attorney in Illinois since 2001, according to ARDC, Taylor practices with the Chicago firm of Schwartz Gilligan Ltd.

Taylor's campaign biography stresses her years of service as a "Court Appointed Special Advocate in Cook County for cases involving minors removed from their homes." She also served on the City of Chicago Board of Ethics (until 2012).

A past recipient of Phi Beta Sigma Crescent Moon Award for Legal Excellence, according to her campaign biography, Taylor has also received the Cook County Special Advocate Volunteer Spirit Award.

A graduate of John Marshall Law School, Taylor mentors students at the school and awarded the Black Law Students Association’s Legacy Action Award in 2019.

Taylor was a finalist for associate judge in the 2018 selection process.

  1. A graduate of UIC Law School. John Marshall is DEAD. University of Illinois doesn't want that former name tarnishing its newer branding campaign.
