Check Your Judges with Injustice Watch Monday, March 9 6 PM - 8 PM Judges are powerful officials whose decisions affect many aspects of life, from traffic tickets to divorces, civil lawsuits, evictions, and criminal cases. That's why ahead of every election, Injustice Watch spends months researching each Cook County judicial candidate's background, legal experience, political connections, conduct, and more - all so you can make an informed decision about who should be a judge. Join Injustice Watch reporters Kelly Garcia, Maya Dukmasova, and Dan Hinkel for a conversation about notable judicial races and themes from the primary's field of candidates.

Well, this is handy! Pick up a print copy of the Injustice Watch Cook County judicial election guide and bring it to that relative who still prefers the feel of paper and the act of turning pages. Early voting in the Illinois primary is going on now. Election Day is March 17.
Senior reporter Maya Dukmasova is on the latest episode of the Ben Joravsky Show breaking down what you need to know about Cook County judicial elections. buff.ly/Y14nxQ2
Injustice Watch does good work. I've been using their (Chicagoland) Cook County judicial guides for several elections now, and it's soooo much better to be an informed voter rather than just relying on the qualified/not qualified ratings in newspapers. Highly recommend picking up a guide if you can!
All manner of cool places to pick up our guide but I would just note that two places to hang out and learn about judges are the Beer Temple and Bucket Oβ Blood Books and Records. Could make a nice Saturday afternoon of it.
Hereβs a map of locations where you can pick up a copy of our Cook County judicial election guide. New locations are being added through the end of this week! www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/v...
