Are they above the law?

[NEED TO KNOW]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know that it was the law that if you are a Cook County Judge, you must live in Cook County. (1)What is the penelity if this requirement is ignored? (2)If a Judge retires but still substiutes, must he still by law live in Cook County? (3)If I know of a Judge who lives outside Cook County, who and where would I report it to?
I have a cousin who lived in Skokie and worked for the park district for over twenty years.
In order to keep his job he had to sell his house and move with in Cook County.
Thank You

check your state bar association. Contact 411 and ask for your state bar. Then ask them for the bylaws on ethics with Judges, including any applicable residence requirements.
