CIRCUIT

COURTS

The court of "original jurisdiction" is thecircuit court. There are twenty-two circuits

in the state, three of which are single countycircuits (Cook, Will, and Du Page). Theremaining nineteen circuits contain two totwelve counties per circuit.

The circuit court can decide, with fewexceptions, any kind of case. The

exceptions are redistricting of the generalassembly and the ability of the governor toserve or resume office. The circuit court alsoshares jurisdiction with the supreme court tohear cases relating to revenue, mandamus,prohibition, and habeas corpus. However, if thesupreme court chooses to exercise itsjurisdiction over these cases, the circuit courtmay not decide them. Finally, the circuit courtalso reviews administrative orders from certainstate agencies.

There are two kinds of judges in the circuitcourt: circuit judges and associate judges.

Circuit judges are elected for six years, may beretained by voters for additional six year terms,and can hear any kind of case. Circuit judgesare elected on a circuit-wide basis or from thecounty where they reside. In Cook County,circuit judges are elected from the entire countyor as resident judges from each of the fifteensubcircuits within the county. Associate judgesare appointed by circuit judges, under supremecourt rules, for four-year terms. An associatejudge can hear any case, except criminal casespunishable by a prison term of one year ormore, unless the associate judge has receivedapproval from the supreme court to hear othercriminal cases.

Circuit judges in a circuit elect one of theirmembers to serve as chief circuit court

judge. Cases may be assigned to general orspecialized divisions by the chief judge whohas general administrative authority in thecircuit, subject to the overall administrativeauthority of the supreme court.

Conference of Chief Circuit Judges: The Conference meetsregularly to discuss issues related to the administration of justice inthe circuit courts and other matters referred to the Conference by theSupreme Court. The Conference of Chief Circuit Judges' membershipis comprised of the chief circuit judges from the twenty-two judicialcircuits throughout the State of Illinois. Robert L. Carter, Chief Judgeof the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, served as chairperson of theConference during 2003. Robert K. Kilander, Chief Judge of theEighteenth Judicial Circuit, served as vice-chairperson. TheAdministrative Office serves as secretary to the Conference.

Conference Committees: The committees of the Conference includethe Article V Committee, Child Support Committee, Committee toRevise the Chief Circuit Judges' Manual, Juvenile Committee, Long-Range Planning Committee, Prison Committee, Probation Committeeand several ad hoc committees convened to study specific, short-termsubject matter.

Some of the committee activities from 2003 included the finalizationand distribution of an updated Chief Circuit Judges' Manual to all thejudicial circuits. Also, the Long-Range Planning Committee wasestablished during 2003 with a charge of creating a mission statementfor the Conference, developing a perennial strategic plan andproviding a process whereby implementation and constantconsideration is given for improving the administration of justice inthe trial courts of Illinois. The Prison Committee continued its effortin revising the Handbook on Habeas Corpus and Mandamus andplans to finalize it in early 2004.

During 2003, the Article V Committee, Child Support Committee,Juvenile Committee, and Probation Committee continued to monitorand analyze new legislation and Supreme Court Rules, and providenecessary forms, policy, orders, etc. in accordance with the newprovisions.
