Report: Cook Circuit Court Clerk slow to improve public access to court documents, transparency in clerk’s office – Cook County Record

A recently released report from a coalition of Chicago-based court reform advocacy organizations, including the Chicago Council of Lawyers and the Civic Federation, states “Our impression is that, despite ample opportunity … Clerk (Iris) Martinez failed to form an effective transition committee or develop a comprehensive transition plan. We are unaware of any organized effort by the Clerk or her staff to establish updated goals and priorities for the office.”
