The Northern District of Illinois is the Federal District Court that encompasses Chicago. I clerked for a judge there and then practiced extensively before the judges in the Northern District, and although I didn’t always agree with how the judges ruled (no attorney does), I never questioned their integrity or commitment to the law. This week has only borne out my admiration for the Federal bench in Chicago, as it has repeatedly held the line against an increasingly lawless administration and its fascist shock troops.
