Don't forget about voting for judges.

Just a reminder of an older post about voting for judges, with some good advice in the comments.

Also,they suggested the site http://voteforjudges.org/ to help you determine who other lawyers thought were qualified judges.

One of the races in particular, Linnae Bryant vs. Thaddeus Wilson, that idea is in dispute. (This is the race where , whoever wins, a Chathamite in be on the bench; i may post some thoughts on this race later....)

At a Greater Chatham Alliance meeting, Bryant argued a case against using them, citing that she thought they were unfair, especially for our community.  Wilson acknowledged that you can't always trust them, but noted that there are at least 2 African American bar associations, and having unanimous approval of all 11 Chicago Bar associations is significant.

It's up to you to make the call.

How did it work for you?
