Chief Judge Timothy C. Evans, Circuit Court of Cook County

Please join us for lunch at the Union League Club on May 26, 2022, to hear Chief Judge Timothy C. Evans of the Circuit Court of Cook County in conversation with Circuit Judge Nichole Patton in celebration of his 30 year Judicial anniversary.  As Chief Judge, he oversees the largest judicial circuit in Illinois and one of the largest unified court systems in the world, with more than 400 judges and 2600 employees. A graduate of the University of Illinois and the John Marshall Law School, Judge Evans served as Assistant Corporation Counsel and as Deputy Commissioner of the City of Chicago’s Department of Investigations before being elected to the Chicago City Council in 1973, a position he held for 18 years while maintaining a private law practice.  As alderman, he served as Mayor Harold Washington’s floor leader and chaired the Finance, Budget, and Health Committees. He joined the bench in 1992 and served as presiding judge of the Domestic Relations and Law Divisions before being unanimously elected to his current role in September 2001 by his fellow judges.  As Chief Judge, he has championed significant changes in bail procedures, court administration, and court personnel practices, among other initiatives.  In 2009, he was the first Illinois judge to receive the William H. Rehnquist Award for Judicial Excellence from the National Center for State Courts.  A native of Hot Springs, Arkansas, he was inducted to the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame in 2010.
