Meet the New Judge, Same as the Old Judge

Following a series of articles discussing both her questionable financial transactions as well as her freewheeling execution of Illinois law (pun intended), Cook County Judge Shauna Boliker was summarily banished from her position on the probate court bench in Daley Center to a lesser position as a judge hearing pretrial motions in criminal court..

For those who do not yet know this, these Restraining Orders are regularly issued in guardianship court proceedings, in order to bar potentially protective family from oversight as to the well-being of their loved ones. In the petition for Protective Orders, Sophia was accused of no act of overtly harming her husband, only of trying repeatedly to check in on him in the home in which the guardian had placed him…
