Attached is my annual suggested guide to the Cook County judicial election. The list is not based on my personal recommendations. Instead, as always, the list is based on the highest total of the combined rankings of the Alliance of Bar Associations for Judicial Screenings (13 bar associations), plus one additional bar association, the Chicago Council of Lawyers

The separate rankings can be found at Vote For Judges – https://voteforjudges.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2024-Cook-County-Primary-Ballot-as-of-2.28-004.pdf

Injustice Watch, a nonprofit that screens judges, has information about each judge but does not make recommendations. https://interactives.injusticewatch.org/judicial-election-guide/2024-primary/en:
