The Illinois Supreme Court has appointed a Marian University alumna as an Illinois Circuit Court Judge. Associate Judge Jennifer L. Johnson ’93 was recently named to the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court bench in McHenry County, Illinois. Judge Johnson, who earned her Bachelor of Arts summa cum laude degree from Marian, will fill the circuit court vacancy created by the upcoming retirement of another judge.
