I have extensive litigation experience in civil and criminal law, and in administrative, state, and federal tribunals. Prior to becoming a judge, I zealously advocated for children, elderly and indigent communities, and people with disabilities, through my work as General Counsel of the Illinois Office of Comptroller, an Administrative Law Judge for the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, and a Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney. I promoted equal access to the law and equal justice throughout my career. I am a long-standing, committed leader and educator in bar associations, law schools, and the community.
I am the proud daughter of immigrants from India and the first lawyer and judge in my family. Fifty-four years after they immigrated here, they got to vote for their daughter in a public election. Everything I do is to make them and the people of Cook County proud. I am running for judge to bring representation and high qualifications to the judiciary. I believe in the rule of law; in interpreting, analyzing, and applying the law impartially, without prejudice or bias, and with compassion and empathy for those I serve. I am a fair, honest, and knowledgeable judge – and I hope to continue my service to the judiciary and the people of Cook County.
