In my defense, there's been a lot else going on, and I didn't get to this one as soon as I might have otherwise....

In an Order entered September 1, the Illinois Supreme Court appointed Associate Judge Neil H. Cohen to the vacacny created by the early elevation of Judge Raymond W. Mitchell to the Appellate Court. Cohen's appointment was effective September 8; it will terminate December 2, 2024.
