Chicago Bar Association says vote "yes" on all retention judges, with two exceptions

The Chicago Bar Association has announced that it is recommending that voters give a "yes" vote for all Cook County retention judges on the November ballot -- with two exceptions. As will come as no surprise to FWIW readers, the two exceptions are Daniel James Pierce and Ann Finley Collins.

Both told bar screeners that they would not participate in either screening by either the Alliance of Bar Associations for Judicial Screening or the CBA because they were planning to retire. While both filed for retention, Pierce ultimately went through with his retirement plans; Collins changed her mind about retiring this year.

Both Pierce and Collins will appear on the retention ballot. But votes for or against Pierce will not count because he has in fact retired. Votes for or against Collins will count.

    It was one thing when certain bar associations were universally known to issue questionable ratings for candidates and retention judges. Now ALL of them are universally known for suspect calls for even more suspect reasons. The only thing Tim Evans is "Highly Qualified" to do is decide who sits where and who makes the short list. But apparently that's qualifications enough to be retained.


    S**tshow Operation that is our Circus Court of Crook County. But at least Injustice Watch is creating drama, if not, exposing institutional ineptness (which it isn't).
