Illinois Supreme Court Justice Rita Garman, who had planned to seek a third 10-year term in November, abruptly tendered her resignation Monday.
Supreme Court Justice Rita Garman, who had planned to seek a third 10-year term in November, abruptly tendered her resignation Monday.
"I have had the role of a lifetime, a privilege to serve the people of the state of Illinois as a member of the court system at every level," the 78-year-old Garman said. "But this is the right time for me to step back from my public role and allow someone else to assume this all-important position."
Garman was appointed to the Supreme Court to fill a vacancy in 2001 and was elected in 2002, just months after the court’s first woman, Mary Ann McMorrow, took the gavel as chief justice and became the first woman to lead any of the three branches of government in Illinois. Garman was the second woman chief justice from 2013-2016.
