State board files complaint against suspended Cook County judge (guilty but legally insane)
Chicago Tribune ^ | 8/13/13 | Steve Schmadeke

A Cook County judge who was found guilty but legally insane in February after shoving a courthouse deputy will go before the Illinois Courts Commission to determine whether she's "mentally able" to return to the bench.

It might be the first time the state commission, which has the power to reprimand, suspend or even remove judges from office, has been asked to rule on a sitting judge's mental fitness for the bench.

Judge Cynthia Brim, 54, was named in a complaint filed Monday by the Judicial Inquiry Board alleging conduct that was "prejudicial to the administration of justice and that brought the judicial office into disrepute." She also was charged with "being mentally unable to perform her duties unless she receives regular treatment, including consistently taking necessary and appropriate medication."

In defense of Cook County, they have to hire from the available pool. Both of the sane people were already employed.

“prejudicial to the administration of justice and that brought the judicial office into disrepute.”

Is that all they have .... if that charge sticks they will have to charge most of Illinois judges.
