Judge Chatlain Faces Censure Over Conduct at Cook County Court
A Chicago Bar association committee censured Judge Arthur Chatlain for unbecoming conduct and actions that could undermine judicial dignity. The panel urged resignation but did not call for impeachment, citing improper promoting of mining ventures, use of judicial office for personal gain, and acceptance of stock and cash for favors. Debate continues as his lawyers argue the findings do not justify resignation amid debt and ongoing legal affairs.
