Nine Cook County judges to be hired despite lighter caseloads

April 03, 2012

Cook County will hire nine associate judges at a cost of $2.1 million in the first year, though the current 415 judges already have caseloads lighter than the state average. Associate judge posts are based on a county's population, and Cook County saw a steep drop in the past decade. Also, a Daily Herald investigation last week showed Illinois circuit judges are the highest paid in the nation.
