From Larry Suffredin.org – what do the twin daughters of Judge Timothy Evans do for a living?

It would appear they just help out daddy during the day, but they claim he is not really their boss:

As Cook County’s chief circuit judge, Timothy C. Evans has been his twin daughters’ boss since 2001, but an aide says he steers clear of any matter involving them.

According to the Code of Judicial Conduct, “A judge should exercise the power of appointment on the basis of merit, avoiding nepotism and favoritism.”

Catherine Evans is paid $95,307.68 a year as a legal systems analyst in the Office of the Chief Judge, county payroll records show. She was making $39,255.84 when her father became chief judge. She serves as assistant director of a program that provides free legal help to people trying to become guardians of minors.

Cynthia Evans makes $89,627.20 as deputy jury administrator. She was making $42,224 when her father became chief judge. She oversees the jury assembly room at the Daley Center.

The 41-year-old twins have received promotions since their father was elected chief judge in 2001, after nine years on the bench, the payroll records show. Catherine Evans got a promotion a year after her father succeeded Donald O’Connell as chief judge. And Cynthia Evans has subsequently gotten three promotions, the records show.

Thanks  to Larry Suffredin for this enlightening report.

Next, we would like publicly available, on the internet, court records and documents.  Those belong to the people and there’s no reason to have to go to the Daley center and go to computer terminals and printers by division (Probate, Law, Chancery, etc.) to get images of court documents in 2015.  That is ridiculous.  Also, the charge is outrageous $1 for the first few pages, fifty cents and twenty five cents when Pacer is 8 cents per page and you can sit on your butt at your office to get copies.

When is that going to end.  I understand the state legislature passed a law to get these high copy charges, it’s still ridiculous in light of the 8 cents a page copies for Pacer
