The Chicago Council of Lawyers is seeking members interested in becoming involved in our judicial evaluation process.

The Illinois State Bar Association is preparing an upcoming training session for individuals who would like to serve as investigators and hearing room officers as part of the judicial evaluation process. Training will be offered during both afternoon and early evening hours to accommodate different schedules.

This is a great opportunity for CCL members to become more directly involved in our work evaluating judicial candidates and helping promote a fair, impartial, and highly qualified judiciary.

Interested in Participating?

Please email ccl@chicagocouncil.org to let us know. Training opportunities begin as early as next week, so we encourage interested members to contact us as soon as possible!

Why This Work Matters

Judicial evaluations help provide voters with information they can use when making decisions at the ballot box. Check out VoteForJudges.org to see updated ratings and information for the 2026 General Election. The work of trained investigators and hearing room officers is an important part of the process behind these evaluations and the information ultimately made available to the public.
