Candidates for a circuit judge vacancy in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit have been rated in an advisory poll of lawyers conducted by the Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA). Results of this poll are now available.

The advisory poll is conducted by mail and is sent to all ISBA members in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit. Licensed Illinois attorneys who are not members of the ISBA or who are outside the circuit could request a ballot. The results of this poll are being released to the public at the request of Chief Judge John S. Lowry. Opinions expressed in the poll are of those attorneys who chose to respond and do not reflect the opinion of the Illinois State Bar Association or the opinions of all Illinois attorneys.
