Family law practitioner Carmen Quinones has announced plans to seek the countywide Hyman vacancy in the 2022 Democratic primary. That's a link to Quinones' campaign website in the preceding sentence; a link has also been added to the Sidebar on this site.
Licensed in Illinois since 1989, according to ARDC, Quinones is a solo practitioner from Wilmette. Her campaign biography notes that she used to have her office in the Humboldt Park and Logan Square area. Initially she handled criminal cases before 'gravitating' to a family law practice, including work as a guardian ad litem and child representative. According to her campaign bio, Quinones has served on the Child Representative Steering Committee and has been involved with the Chicago Bar Association Lawyer-to Lawyer mentoring program.
Her campaign bio also notes that, before becoming a lawyer, Quinones did graduate work in psychology, participating in a doctoral program at Maryland State University from 1970-74, and working as a Manager/Supervisor for the Virginia Department of Corrections.
Most of the people running this cycle are a bunch of mutants. And I don’t mean X-Men mutants either. I mean knuckle dragging 3-eyed mutants. Cook County has the judiciary it deserves.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what you mean by this. Is this specific to this one judge hopeful or all hopefuls?. And, really, what dies the length of the arms and the eye grouping of a person have to do with qualifications to be a judge? Give me a "mutant" if it means they can read, organize, show up to work, not feel so beholden to certain groups that they are highly biased against anyone not the chosen few,, and have sound legal reasoning. It beats some of the "anointed" or subcircuit fortunates we wind up with.
DeleteCarmen has my vote, that's all.
ReplyDeleteWow this is a pretty horrible comment. Making comments about a person's appearance is uncalled for.
ReplyDeleteJudges are selected by the voters from the list of candidates who have the commitment and courage to run for the office. It takes a lot of courage to step up and run for public office. It does not take much courage to post demeaning pot shots from the sidelines.
