[Judy Ossello]

This year, Cook County residents have one of the longest ballots in the
country. There are a lot of judges to cast a vote for or against. There
are many sources for researching these judges, and this is just one of
them.

The Chicago Bar Association's Judicial Evaluation Committee completed
its evaluation process for retention candidates on October 8, 2004.

Candidates participating in the JEC screening process receive a finding
of "Qualified" or "Not Recommended."

Of the 74 judges on the ballot, The JEC found 3 Illinois Appellate
Court judges "Qualified" and 67 Circuit Court judges "Qualified" to be
retained by Cook County voters. Four (4) Circuit Court Judges were found
"Not Recommended" for retention.
