The CCSAO is hosting a Domestic Violence Resource Fair and Awareness Walk on Wednesday, October 28.
We hope you can join us to learn about available resources for survivors, meet prosecutors who specialize in DV cases, and connect with advocates who can offer support.
The CCSAO hosted its first DV Agencies Meet & Greet, bringing together more than 10 Chicago-area domestic violence organizations to share resources and learn how they can best work together to strengthen support for victims and survivors.

No one should fear participating in the justice system.
Our new Victim Witness Relocation Program helps individuals facing threats access safe housing, relocation assistance, and other necessities while their cases move forward.
The fight against human trafficking requires us to stay ahead of a changing landscape.
The CCSAO co-hosted the 16th annual Human Trafficking Conference to bring together partners to strengthen how we identify trafficking, protect survivors, and pursue justice.

No one should have to choose between their personal safety and helping hold a violent offender accountable.
Our new Victim Witness Relocation Program provides safe housing and relocation help so people can safely participate in prosecutions.
Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! We're proud to celebrate the culture, history, and contributions of our Hispanic and Latino attorneys, staff, and neighbors across Cook County.

The Electronic Monitoring system is broken. Violent people who pose a risk to public safety aren’t being adequately monitored, and they shouldn’t receive credit for time served at home instead of in custody.
I sat down with @nbcchicago to talk through some potential solutions.

Welcomed our largest class of bar takers—more than 90 aspiring lawyers who will help us fill every attorney vacancy in the office for the first time in a decade.
I told them what I believe matters most in this job: be kind, be a good partner, and never stop learning.

Thank you to everyone who came out for our annual CCSAO Picnic & Softball Tournament, and to the staff who put so much time into making it a success.
This office is filled with people who care about one another, and this event was a great reminder of that.
Last week we welcomed more than 90 bar takers to our downtown office for Bar Taker Boot Camp. With this class, we have zero attorney vacancies in the office for the first time in at least a decade.
The CCSAO is made up of people who care deeply about the communities they serve because they live and work in those communities, too.
Hear from four members of our team about why they chose to serve Cook County and what keeps them here.
Our team joined Chicago’s legal community for Race Judicata, supporting @CVLS_legalaid and its work providing free legal representation to Chicagoans who cannot afford an attorney. We’re proud to join the wide range of law firms and attorneys out for a great cause.

I was skeptical about the impact a courtroom dog could have. Then I met Hatty. Five minutes with her changed my mind, and now we’re expanding this program to provide more support to victims and witnesses.
We will use every tool we can to help victims through the court process.

No one is above the law – and that includes ICE agents.
My office is committed to seeking justice on behalf of anyone harmed during Operation Midway Blitz when the evidence and the law allow us to prosecute. Cook County will not turn a blind eye to unlawful conduct.

AI cannot replace prosecutors.
Litigating cases requires human judgement and processing sensitive information. We’re taking a slow, deliberate approach with AI to ensure that victims and their personal data will always be protected.

The only time the @cookcountysao asks for detention is if someone presents a danger.
Everyone on Electronic Monitoring is allowed time on at least 2 days for untracked movement. That is a serious concern for defendants who are violent.
