The ballot for me was 14 pages. 10 of them involved judges I know nothing about. Given the lawer quotient on this board, and general dereliction of the rest of us, we should be able to provide meaningful feedback on who is worth keeping and who should have been voted off.

If anyone knows of judges in place that should be removed, place it here for those heading to the polls later.

In future, it may be beneficial if we make the thread available so those with more knowledge of certain subjects can provide feedback for the rest of us. In some of those judge elect formats, a group such as this could have a pretty big impact if we knew who the real sloths were.

Always vote no to retain...

I mentioned this in another thread, but I have always found the judicial evaluations from the Chicago Council of Lawyers to be invaluable: http://www.chicagocouncil.org/programs/state-judicial-evaluations/.

edited out my copy/paste referencing your link.

I'm not sure who Judge Dreed is, but if you swap him/her/it out for Judge Harry Stone, this is a helluva list.

Most posters here won't even take the time to read an entire post from sini, but your hope is they will read 35 pages about retaining judges?

I like you your never quit attitude.

Hon. Daniel James Gallagher – Qualified
Judge Gallagher was elected to the bench in 2010. Prior to his appointment, he was
in private practice and served as an Assist
ant Cook County Public Defender. Judge
Gallagher is presently assigned to the Misdemeanor Room at Branch 34, presiding
over various misdemeanor cases.
Judge Gallagher is considered to have g
ood adequate legal ability and is praised for
his willingness to mentor young lawyers.
But some respondents noted that he
demonstrates a short temper on the bench. Yet Judge Gallagher has acknowledged
that temperament can be a problem for him, and is taking steps to remedy the
problem. Judge Gallagher has been praised for seeking to find pragmatic solutions for
offenders on his call. On balance, the Council finds him Qualified for retention.

Vote for Dan! Great guy, solid goalie. Used to play hockey with him at Johnny's for years. He's a former crazy goalie so I'm not surprised he has a temper on the bench.


Plus if you ever get arrested and end up in front of him you can mention my name and he'll probably let you off with just a warning not to rape again.

His posts aren't undermined by excessive length; rather, they are routinely ignored because they are self-indulgent manifestations of a facile intellect.

To your point, though, the Council also provides a two-page sample ballot for those who are too busy to read the evaluations. Is that short enough for you?
