Cook County Democratic Party to conduct judicial "pre-slating" on June 15 and 16

The headline pretty much tells you what you need to know. If you didn't know it already.

The Cook County Democratic Party will hold a "Pre-Slating event" for countywide judicial hopefuls on June 15 and 16. If this comes as news to you, your chances of subsequently being slated during the August 14 and 15 slating meeting are presumably pretty thin.

But there's a form: Click here, fill in the blanks, and submit the form and someone will likely contact you. If no one does, however, it's not my fault.

And another caveat, too: The Pre-Slating event is only for countywide vacancies. Committeepersons in the now-20 subcircuits will have their own processes (or not). Some may not have any vacancies to slate. New vacancies are likely in the new 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th Subcircuits because these will be fed, starting this week, by vacancies occurring in the ranks of associate judges. Other subcircuits will have vacancies, or not, depending on whether judges in the existing subcircuits leave office.

Where are the vacancies? How many are there? We'll look at what is known here in future articles.
