Chicago establishment hack.

Judge Bartkowicz is a good example of what every jurist should be. He arrives on time and has every case file on his call right on top of or on the side of his bench. He rolls up his sleeves and works, which is something a lot of judges don't want to do. It will be a sad day when Judge Bartkowicz retires.

Judge Bartkowicz did a fine job in handling the pre-trial aspects and trial of the civil case I worked on in front of him. He actually read and considered the briefs of both parties, which is more than can be said about many Cook County judges. The case moved slowly, but that doesn't appear to be unusual in Cook County either.

A nice man who should have retired a long time ago. He seems to have little interest in moving his cases to resolution.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: IL103
Rating:5.0
Comments:
Provides weak reasons for some rulings, typically seeking to avoid granting summary judgment for defendants. Tends to be pro-plaintiff.
