A seat at the bench will be a great honor, an opportunity to apply the extensive knowledge of laws and court procedures I have gained during my career in public service at the Illinois Securities Department, the Illinois Attorney General’s Office, and the Cook County State Attorney’s Office.”
Athena Farmakis, who runs for the Democratic primary election for the Cook County Circuit Court 8th Subcircuit, wrote on Facebook that she has “dedicated her legal career to serving the public as a Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney, zealously advocating for victims of homicide, sexual assault, child abuse, and other violent crimes.”
