The Chicago Tribune Voter Guide is now online. Laura Morask’s 12th Judicial Sub circuit race in Cook County stacks up the candidates and gives you an understanding in their own words on why each candidate is qualified to be judge. (full text below)
“The Chicago Tribune Voter Guide provides voters a chance to understand my qualifications, on many levels. I always welcome the chance to meet people face to face and share with them the importance of Judges in our country. I realize sometimes voters don’t have the chance to meet each candidate and the Tribune’s Voter Guide is a great resource for these voters.”
A recent face to face meeting with Laura was her Volunteer Breakfast. It was a really great opportunity to talk with voters, and plan for the upcoming work towards the election. Laura appreciates everyone who made it and was also happily surprised with how many people emailed support and how they will help in other ways. Thanks everyone. Every little bit helps.

The Illinois Supreme Court Capital Litigation Trial Bar is the blue ribbon committee established to ensure that only those with the proper ethical and trial experience can conduct capital litigation. Laura Morask is the only candidate in her race to be twice certified as lead counsel by this organization’s rigorous process.
The process consists of a review committee which interviews various legal references to verify and confirm murder jury experience, forensic knowledge and experience, DNA knowledge and experience and ethical trial standards.
Experience
Laura is also the only candidate in her race to have record-setting trial experience, with over five thousand bench and motion hearings and a record amount of jury trial litigation, leading any prosecutor in Cook County. She is more intimately familiar with the rules of evidence, the law, and daily courtroom management and litigation. As the deputy supervisor of preliminary hearings for Branch 44 at Harrison and Kedzie handling all of the felony cases on Chicago’s west side, she currently supervises the prosecution of 400 cases monthly, trains dozens of younger assistants and manages a staff of courtroom personnel.
Expert in DNA and Forensic evidence
Combining her interests in biology and law, she developed an expertise in DNA. This expertise has enabled her to become a forensic expert familiar with not only rape cases but capital cases, and has tried over a hundred jury trials involving such issues as lead counsel. As previously mentioned, she is the only candidate in her race to be twice qualified by the Illinois Supreme Court’s Capital Litigation Trial Bar recognizing she has the forensic, legal and ethical experience required by law to handle capital cases. Over the years she have advised and taught many fellow lawyers how to analyze and effectively present DNA evidence. She lectures locally and nationally and published a chapter in the Joint Cook and DuPage County Training Manual for Prosecutors. Her DNA expertise was recently featured on FOX News.

Laura ventured out during the flooding and downpour to meet with Wheeling Township supporters. She spoke to over 50 hardy attendees who braved the rain to meet the 8 new precinct captains and hear the speakers. In addition to Laura Morask, candidate for the 12th Judicial sub-circuit of Cook County, other speakers were Tony Peraica, Matt Murphy, and Andy McKenna.
The biggest obstacle to attending the meeting were all the flooded intersections. Immediately following the meeting Laura left to monitor Maine Township’s emergency situation due to flooding. She worked with the township to declare a state of emergency to get county and state aid as quickly as possible.
