Selection method

See also: Partisan elections

There are 513 judges on the Illinois Circuit Court, each elected in partisan elections to six-year terms. Upon the completion of these terms, judges who wish to continue serving must compete in uncontested, nonpartisan retention elections.[1]

The chief judge of each circuit court is selected by peer vote; he or she serves in that capacity indefinitely.[1]

The circuit courts are also served by 391 associate judges, who are limited in that they may not preside over cases in which the defendant is charged with a felony (an offense punishable by one or more years in prison). Associate judges are appointed to four-year terms by circuit judges.[2][1]

Midterm vacancies are filled by Illinois Supreme Court appointment.[1]

Qualifications
To serve on this court, a judge must be:[1]

  • a U.S. citizen;
  • a circuit/county resident; and
  • licensed to practice law in Illinois.
