Updated Alliance retention grids now available

The Alliance of Bar Associations for Judicial screening has released updated 'grids' showing the members' varying recommendations on jurists seeking retention in this year's general election.

As you look at the grids, reproduced below, you will note that some groups, for specific judges, have recommended neither (Y)es nor (N)o. A couple of these squares have a symbol "1" instead of a Y or N. That means that the particular group was unable to complete an evaluation of that candidate through no fault of the candidate. There are also a few squares that are simply empty -- blank. That means that an evaluation of that candidate has not yet been released by the group in question.

With that preface, then, herewith the updated Alliance grids. Click on the grid if necessary, to clarify or enlarge the image:
The Alliance of Bar Associations for Judicial Screening is comprised of the Arab American Bar Association, Asian American Bar Association of the Greater Chicago Area, Black Men Lawyers’ Association, Black Women Lawyers’ Association of Greater Chicago, Chicago Council of Lawyers, Cook County Bar Association, Decalogue Society of Lawyers, Hellenic Bar Association of Illinois, Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois, Illinois State Bar Association, Chicago’s LGBTQ+ Bar Association, Puerto Rican Bar Association, and Women’s Bar Association of Illinois, working collaboratively to improve the process of screening judicial candidates in Cook County, Illinois.
