Illinois

From Judgepedia

The Illinois state court system is divided into three main branches: the Supreme Court, the Appellate Court, and the Circuit Court. Judges from any of these courts are subject to review from the Illinois Courts Commission (composed of one Supreme Court Justice, two Appellate Court Judges, two Circuit Judges and two citizens) and the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board (which was created by the 1970 Illinois Constitution).
