Updated Alliance retention judges ratings are nearly complete

Only three blanks remain on the Alliance 'grids,' all regarding Judge Maritza Martinez. The blanks mean only that the bar groups in question have not reported a rating yet; no assumption should be made as to whether the missing ratings, when reported, will be positve or negative.

With that preface, herewith the updated grids:
The Alliance of Bar Associations for Judicial Screening is comprised of the Arab American Bar Association (AABAR), the Asian American Bar Association of the Greater Chicago Area (AABA), the Black Men Lawyers’ Association (BMLA), the Black Women Lawyers’ Association of Greater Chicago (BWLA), the Chicago Council of Lawyers (CCL), the Cook County Bar Association (CCBA), the Decalogue Society of Lawyers (DSL), the Hellenic Bar Association of Illinois (HBA), the Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois (HLAI), the Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA), Chicago’s LGBTQ+ Bar Association (LAGBAC), the Puerto Rican Bar Association (PRBA), and the Women’s Bar Association of Illinois (WBAI), all working collaboratively to improve the process of screening judicial candidates in Cook County, Illinois.

  1. Assume the blanks will remain blank or will be filled with a YES because these bar associations are packed with wannabe associate judges who pander to these people. the circle of mediocrity continues.

  2. Wow. Only the CCBA had the guts to say "no" to some judges. Cowards.

  3. Uhm, Anon 9/29/26 @3:35, other bars issued a "no." But they all targeted a black woman, while giving some of the other incompetents a free pass. If this was a book, it would be called "Profiles in Cowardice."
