First to file in the Democratic Primary for the Groebner vacancy in the 13th Subcircuit on this last day of filing was Cook County Assistant States Attorney James "Jack" Costello. That's a link to Costello's campaign website in the preceding sentence; a link has also bee added to the site Sidebar.
Licensed in Illinois since 2007, according to ARDC, Costello has spent his entire legal career in the State's ATtorney's Office. His campaign bio touts his experience in a "wide spectrum of cases - from DUIs to homicides - in hundreds of bench trials and dozens of jury trials." More recently, according to his campaign website, Costello has worked in the Special Prosecutions/Public Corruption and Financial Crime Unit of the CCSAO, handling "complex financial crimes and public corruption, teaming with local, state, and federal authorities against scams affecting thousands of people."
Costello is a founder of, and now coaches, the Rolling Meadows High School Mock Trial Team. He has served on the Board of the Arlington Heights Historical Society.
According to his campaign bio, Costello is a lifelong resident of the northwest suburbs. He attended St. Viator High School. Costello and his wife (also an attorney) are raising their family in Arlington Heights.
