Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Mary Jane Theis has announced that applications will be accepted for a temporary appointment to an 11th Subcircuit vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Mary Colleen Roberts.
Applications are available at this page of the Illinois Supreme Court's website. The deadline for completion and return of the application is 4:00 p.m. on January 3, 2025. The application must be returned electronically and as a single document. (Note that, in a story posted earlier today, the deadline for applications to three vacancies being filled by Justice Cunningham was 5:00 p.m., not 4:00 p.m. That's not a typo; each justice can set such deadlines or groundrules as he or she sees fit.)
This appointment, once made, will expire on December 7, 2026. To remain in office, the successful applicant would have to run for, and win, election to this seat in the 2026 election.
Applicants for this vacancy must be lawyers, licensed to practice law in the State of Illinois, and residents of the 11th Subcircuit.
Roberts was first elected to this 11th Subcircuit seat in 2006.
