Letter from Chief Judge Raymond A. Cavanaugh

On behalf of the judges and support staff, I would like to welcome you to the website of the Ninth Judicial Circuit Courts of the State of Illinois. The Ninth Judicial Circuit includes Fulton, Hancock, Henderson, Knox, McDonough, and Warren Counties. We hope you find the information on our site helpful as you navigate your way through our judicial system. Our goal is to provide ready access to useful, accurate information about our system of justice and our circuit courts that you, as a litigant, as an attorney, as a self-represented litigant, or as a member of the general public may wish to view. We continually monitor and update information and documents on this site in our ongoing effort to keep the site relevant.

Thank you for your interest in the Ninth Judicial Circuit and its website.

Raymond A. Cavanaugh,
Chief Judge
