Illinois Attorney General issued the following announcement on Feb. 15.
Attorney General Kwame Raoul issued the following statement regarding the passing of Hon. Alan Joel Greiman, former circuit court judge and chief justice of the Illinois Appellate Court.
“Judge Greiman dedicated much of his life to serving the people of Illinois, as a member of the Illinois House of Representatives, as a circuit court judge and chief justice of the Illinois Appellate Court. I had the opportunity to argue before him at the appellate court, and his commitment to justice and equality informs the work my office does to protect the rights of all Illinois residents.
“Judge Greiman was an advocate for women, sponsoring the Illinois Domestic Violence Act and as a vocal supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment, which my office is even now fighting to ensure is recognized as our 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. All that he accomplished was done while garnering the respect of those fortunate enough to serve with him – or argue before him.
“The state of Illinois has lost a true public servant. I offer my deepest condolences to his wife, former State Rep. Julie Hamos, his beloved daughters and grandchildren, and all who knew and loved him. May his memory be a blessing.”
