A press release from the Illinois Supreme Court:
Acting Administrative Director Declares Two Illinois Associate Judges Appointed
in the Twenty-Second Judicial Circuit
Michael J. Tardy, Acting Director of the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts, announced that the Twenty-Second Judicial 
Circuit judges voted to select
- Joel D. Berg and
- Kevin G. Costello
as associate judges of the Twenty-Second Judicial Circuit.
Mr. Berg received his undergraduate degree in 1990 from Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Illinois, and his Juris Doctor in 1994 from IIT/Chicago-Kent Law School, Chicago, Illinois. Mr. Berg is currently engaged in solo practice in Harvard, Illinois.
Mr. Costello received his undergraduate degree in 1984 from Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, and his Juris Doctor in 1987 from Notre Dame University in South Bend, Indiana. Mr. Costello is currently engaged in practice with Zukowski, Rogers, Flood & McArdle, in Crystal Lake, Illinois.
Not the most baffling picks, but certainly baffling.
We have been watching this closely…..Thank goodness George Mueller is unpopular in McHenry county. This would have been a tragic mistake.
Good choices, happy the county is for honest ethical attorney selected to judges positions!
