“Gay, lesbian judges in Cook County” form Alliance of Illinois JudgesChicago Tribune: “Last summer, the 15 jurists formally organized as the Alliance of Illinois Judges to, among other things, lobby other circuit judges for the appointment of more gays and lesbians as associate judges, mentor law students and encourage the state to extend judges’ pensions benefits to domestic partners. They also plan to serve as a sounding board for other judges looking for information and resources . . . The judges’ group is one of a handful of its kind in the country.” Related: LGBT Bar Association 2010 Conference: Career Fair and Conference
