Cook County Illinois Judicial Candidates

Posted by David J. Shestokas Nov 7, 2009

There are a series of interviews conducted by the North Town News Magazine that gives time to many of the candidates running for Judge in Cook County Illinois. They can be found on You Tube and are a great resource for getting information about these candidates. Judges are entrusted with some of the greatest authority in our system, and the selection process and the candidates are generally among the least covered topics by the conventional media. Voters should avail themselves of this opportunity. Among the candidates interviewed is William Raines, a former police officer, a former prosecutor and a defense attorney. Mr. Raines' interview shows his well rounded background in a way voters could not find out otherwise. There are interviews with other candidates as well, and the voters should take the time to educate themselves regarding the candidates for these important decisions.
