Know Your Illinois Judges
Dedicated to Increasing Voter Knowledge of Judicial Candidates in Illinois
Our Mission
Know Your State Judges is dedicated to helping the voters of Illinois make decisions they believe in and giving equal voice to judicial candidates regardless of favor or funding.
​
In Illinois, judges are appointed, elected, or retained. Voters elect or approve judges on very little information compared to other elected officials. However, judges are extremely impactful on everyone's lives. Decisions are made on every level from local judges making sentencing decisions and marital or liability determinations to constitutional or civil rights determinations on the appellate or state level. Thus, the quality and credibility of judges, locally, divisionally, and statewide, becomes even more important. Know Your State Judges is dedicated to helping the voters of Illinois make more informed decisions when they vote for their judges.
