Debjani Desai campaign website launches


A campaign website has been launched in support of Judge Debjani Desai's effort to hold her seat on the Cook County bench. That's a link to the new site in the preceding sentence; a link will be added to the Candidate List on this site's Sidebar as soon as it is set up.

The Illinois Supreme Court appointed Desai to the countywide Propes vacancy just last month; she was sworn in on July 14.

Desai's campaign bio stresses her pre-judicial career, culminating in her service as General Counsel for the Illinois Comptroller. It also mentions that Desai has served as a special prosecutor in child protection cases in Juvenile Court, an adjunct professor teaching counseling and negotiations at UIC Law, and as mock trial coach for high school and college teams.

Desai received a CBA Vanguard Award in 2022. She was a Short List finalist in the most recent round of associate judge selections.
