POLS 210 INTRODUCTION TO LAW AND COURTS
Professor Brendon Swedlow
ILLINOIS JUDGES
Your basic assignment is to pick an Illinois judge and find out everything you can about who they are and what they
do, both before and after they became a judge.
Judges who have agreed to be interviewed for this project at the Kane County (16th Circuit) and DeKalb County (23rd
Circuit) courts are listed on the discussion board. If you want to interview a judge in another county, follow
instructions on the discussion board.
Your assignment requires you to do some background research on your judge, observe him or her in court, meet with
your judge, take some pictures, and write a paper about what you found, making use of what you have learned in
class and through your assigned readings.
As a legacy of COVID, many Illinois judges are still conducting meetings and court proceedings online, over the
phone, or in a hybrid format, so this is how they may want to meet with you or have them observe you as well.
Please follow these steps in researching your paper:
CHOOSING AND SCHEDULING YOUR JUDGE
1. Choosing your judge may depend on their proximity to you if they are conducting meetings and court
proceedings in person. So, if you are not near campus, it may be easiest for you to choose a judge who
works in a county closer to where live. Google the Circuit Court for your county. (Circuit courts in rural areas
serve up to 12 counties.) Look for listings of judges working there, their court assignments, and their court
calendars, including online and hybrid schedules.
2. If you are interested in interviewing a judge who has agreed to be interviewed in the Kane or DeKalb County
Circuit Courts, I provide the names of these judges and instructions and contact information on the
discussion board for court administrators who will schedule your interview. If you are interested in judges in
other counties, email the Clerk of the Court for those counties to schedule a time to interview and observe a
judge. Again, see the discussion board for exactly how to go about doing this. Emailing or getting a hold of a
live person is better than leaving phone messages, which tend not to get returned based on our previous
experience doing this assignment. See email templates on discussion board. Follow all instructions there
closely!
3. I encourage you to coordinate your interview and observation of a judge with other students from class. You
can find other students interested in the same circuit court and judge on the discussion board. Again, I
provide specific instructions there on how to obtain interviews and coordinate groups of up to four people to
interview the same judge at the same time. It can be fun and supportive to meet with and/or observe a judge
together. It can also solve transportation issues for those who do not have a car. And it is more efficient for
the judge to meet with 2-4 of you at a time then to meet with you individually, so meeting together helps
respect judicial time and schedules. However, I would generally advise avoiding groups larger than four
students because it can create coordination problems for you and the judge also may not want to meet with
1
larger groups, particularly not in person, in part due to continuing concerns about COVID transmission. But if
you are meeting and observing the judge online, then arranging transportation and COVID will not be issues.
4. You may be interested in interviewing and observing a judge who earned his or her law degree from NIU.
Choose a NIU judge from the list of these judges below. You can compare this list to the judges who have
agreed to be interviewed in Kane and DeKalb counties to identify which of these local judges are NIU judges.
This list is being updated by the College of Law so it may not have every NIU judge on it and some judges on
the list may have retired or have moved to other courts. Some of the retirements are noted where it says
“(ret.)” after a judge’s name. Check the courthouse website to verify that the NIU judge you have chosen
currently works there.
5. The closest courthouse to NIU is the DeKalb County Courthouse in Sycamore, about a 20 minute drive.
There are NIU judges at the DeKalb County Courthouse. However, please note that the Huskie Bus does not
go to Sycamore, nor does any other bus, so you will need to arrange your own transportation, potentially
carpooling with other students.
6. The next closest courthouse to NIU is the Kane County Judicial Center in St. Charles, about a 35 minute
drive, where there are also a number of NIU judges. There is also no public transportation to St. Charles, so
again you will need to arrange your own. Carpooling with other students can work well.
7. Afternoons are generally when judges are most available to meet. If your judge wants to meet in person, try
to schedule a time to meet that will also allow you to observe your judge in court before or after you meet with
him or her. So, when you schedule a time to meet, ask when would be a good time to observe your judge,
and whether the meeting can be scheduled in conjunction with one of those times. This may not always be
possible. If it is not, then you will need to make separate trips to the courthouse to meet and to observe your
judge. Of course, if you are meeting and/or observing your judge online this will not be an issue. Court
administrators can advise on best options for interviewing and observing a judge. See the discussion board
instructions.
8. If the judge has an hour for you, that would be great, but you should also be grateful for any time the judge
can spare, which may be more in the range of 20-30 minutes. Please do not ask the judge for more times or
different times than he or she offers you. And also please do not create a situation that requires back and
forth communication regarding scheduling. Just thankfully accept whatever time is offered when it is offered.
9. If you cannot meet at the time or times your judge offers to meet due to class, work, or other scheduling
conflicts, please just explain that to the judge, and thank him or her for being willing to meet. If you cannot
find a time to meet with and/or observe a particular judge, pick a different judge. However, once you schedule
a time to meet with your judge, definitely show up, and show up early, so as not to keep the judge waiting.
Remember, you are going to an unfamiliar place, so allow extra time to get there. Allow extra time for
weather, rush hour or accident traffic, parking, carpooling, and security checks.
10. Also, remember that when you are making this appointment and meeting with the judge, you are representing
not just yourself, but other NIU students, me, and NIU generally. So, please conduct yourself in a way that
reflects well on all of us.
11. The only possible acceptable reason to cancel with the judge is an emergency or where conditions of travel
are in your judgment unsafe due to severe weather (consistent with NIU policy on travel to campus in severe
weather). If you need to cancel for such reasons, please let the judge and me know as soon as possible.

BEFORE YOU MEET WITH AND OBSERVE YOUR JUDGE
12. Before you meet with and observe your judge, you should find out everything you can about him or her by
doing some online research (also see #16 below). Start with
https://ballotpedia.org/Courts_and_judges_by_county, which has state-by-state, county-by-county information
on all US judges, including those in Illinois. Additionally, a simple google search should provide a lot of
information that you can use in your paper and that you can use as a basis for talking with the judge. These
are also sources that you should use when writing your paper about your judge.
WHEN YOU MEET WITH AND OBSERVE YOUR JUDGE
13. Questions to ask your judge include:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
g.
h.
i.
j.
k.
l.
m.
n.
o.
Why did you decide to go to law school?
Why did you decide to go to the law school where you earned your degree?
What was your law school experience like?
What kind of work did you do after law school, and why did you do that kind of work?
Why did you decide to become a judge?
What did you have to do to become a judge?
What kinds of cases do you hear?
What case or cases was/were most difficult for you to decide? Why?
What aspects of the job do you like most? Least? Why?
Have you had good and/or bad experiences with police officers? If so, what are they?
Do you think the 2021 Safe-T Act is going to improve the administration of justice? Why or why not?
Do you think Donald Trump should be able to run for president in Illinois? Why or why not?
What advice would you give to a student thinking about going to law school?
What advice would give to a student who would like to become a judge?
Any other appropriate questions you may have, including any necessary to answer the questions in
points #16 and #17.
14. Whether or not you are able to meet with your judge, you should observe your judge at work in his or her
courtroom. See points #1 and #7 above in order to determine when and where your judge is in court. In your
paper, you should describe what you saw and heard in your judge’s courtroom. Plan to stay for at least an
hour.
15. Take some notes on paper when you meet with your judge and observe him or her in court. Do not take
notes on a laptop, tablet, phone, recorder, or other electronic device. These devices may not be allowed in
courtrooms, and in any event would likely be off-putting to your judge if you use them while you are meeting
together.
WRITING YOUR RESEARCH PAPER ABOUT YOUR JUDGE
16. You should research your judge through online sources (see # 12 above), including any the library may have,
like LexisNexis. You should describe basic facts about your judge, such as when he or she went to law
school, when the judge became a judge, who appointed the judge, and the kinds of cases the judge hears.
Additionally, you should be able to find information about the kinds of organizations to which the judge
belongs or with which the judge is involved. Is the judge a Democrat or a Republican? Look for news articles
regarding particular cases the judge has heard and explain what they were and why they were newsworthy.

17. In writing about your judge, make use of what you have learned in this course about the law, lawyers, judges,
judicial elections, and courts. Use your assigned readings and our class discussions of them to analyze what
you have learned by interviewing and observing your judge at work. How was your judge selected to become
a judge, and how is that similar to or different from the way other judges are selected? See Baum, American
Courts, Chapter 4. What are the social attributes of your judge and how do these compare to those of other
judges? What is your judge’s career experience and political activity, and is it different from or similar to that
of other judges? For your judge, what are the difficulties and rewards of being a judge, and how does your
judge compare to other judges in this respect? For information to help answer all of these questions, see
Baum, American Courts, Chapter 5.
18. Say what you found most interesting about your judge, your courthouse visit, or other aspects of this
research, and explain why this was the most interesting thing.
19. Cite your sources fully in any recognized style of citation. When citing sources, please provide full citation
information, including page numbers.
20. Include three digital pictures with your paper: (1) a picture of your judge (i.e., either one taken when you
meet, perhaps of you together if your judge appears happy to do that), or one captured off the internet; (2) a
picture of you in the entry hall of NIU law school (Swen Parson Hall, main entrance, on east side) in front of
the picture of your judge; and (3) a picture outside of your judge’s courthouse in front of a sign that has the
courthouse name on it. Do not try to take pictures inside the courthouse, which is usually prohibited. If you
interviewed and observed your judge virtually, provide pictures of the judge and courthouse available online.
21. Again, your five page research paper is due Monday, February 26th, beginning of class posted to the
discussion board forum I have created for this purpose.
22. Please do not post your paper online on social media or other websites or otherwise share it outside of class.
This is a requirement of NIU’s Institutional Review Board, which oversees campus research involving human
subjects.
23. Late papers will be graded down one third of a grade for every day they are late.
