Re: This is real strange

In Cook County, most felony criminal cases are heard at 26th and California. This includes nearly all the cases that happen in Chicago. However, there are not enough court rooms in the building at 26th St. to handle all the cases that come into the system. As a result, there are cases from Chicago that get assigned to judges holding court both in Skokie and in Bridgeview. Our firm handles many case in all three locations.
