New map -- new subcircuits -- and, now, new candidates.
First to publicly declare an interest in an 18th Subcircuit vacancy (which does not yet officially exist) is Cook County Assistant State's Attorney John Hock. That's a link to Hock's new campaign website in the preceding sentence; a link will be added to the candidate list in this site's Sidebar when that is eventually set up.
Licensed in Illinois since 2009, according to ARDC, Hock's campaign biography notes that he served as a public defender before joining the CCSAO. Currently representing the State in post-conviction matters, Hock's bio notes that he formerly handled misdemeanor and felony cases, including juvenile matters, as a public defender.
A native of Joliet, Hock currently resides in Des Plaines with his wife and their two daughters. According to his campaign bio, Hock is "active as a youth sports coach and volunteers throughout the community."
Breaking news... of a sort... or at least an explanation as to why the

Website says has over 15 years of experience but licensed in 2009.
Guessing here... 24-9 = 15....
UPDATE -- I guessed wrong. Mr. Hock advises he was licensed first in Florida... in 2007... so 15+ is not a stretch. I'm assuming his website will be updated. Meanwhile, remind me to not guess any more.
We need more young judges:
(Step One) Pick people who will do a do good job. (Step Two) Elect them onto the bench. (Step Three) Watch them develop into a cohort of good judges who will serve for a long time. (Step Four) Repeat Step One, Two, and Three.
