Having fair, qualified judges is critical to ensure that the rights of everyone are protected. Like other elected public officials, judges make decisions about fundamental issues that affect all of us. Judges decide very personal issues, such as child custody decisions, as well as those with much a broader impact. The decisions that judges make affect our lives, both directly and indirectly, often for many years to come.

We appreciate your effort to vote for judges. Chicago Appleseed Center for Fair Courts launched VoteForJudges.org more than a decade ago in an effort to educate voters about judicial elections in Cook County. It is important for voters to have the information necessary to elect judges they can trust to make impartial decisions based on fair consideration of the facts and law. If voters are informed, the judicial election process has potential to improve the transparency and accessibility of our court system and the accountability of judges and other system actors.
