LCBA Holiday Party
room at 3:30. Please stop by and wish Judge Hoffman well as he moves into the “travel phase” of his life.
It’s not just Judge Hoffman who is moving on to greener pastures. Donna Hamm is retiring from her position as Chief Deputy in the Circuit Clerk’s Office. I don’t think that I could find anyone in the 19th who doesn’t know Donna. She has served in various capacities over her 40 years in our Circuit, and she is a vital part of our 19th Judicial Circuit family. Donna will truly be missed.
AND ONE MORE UPDATE . . .
Although we have been working feverishly to roll out our new case management system, we have run into a few unforeseen delays. Rolling out three new systems— one each for the Court, the State’s Attorney, and the Public Defender—is complicated. Who knew? Seriously though, developing and testing the interfaces between all of the systems is a time-consuming process. We will continue to make every effort to get all of the systems up and running as quickly as possible. A silver lining to the delay is that we will have more time to familiarize all of the stakeholders with these systems, including how to use them, before the ultimate “go-live” date. I will continue to provide updates as they become available.
