A judge long involved in reforms to pretrial detention has been appointed to oversee the Pretrial Division of the Cook County Circuit Court.
A judge long involved in reforms to pretrial detention has been appointed to oversee the Pretrial Division of theCourthouse observers applauded the appointment of Judge Mary Marubio to the position, with one attorney calling her an "ideal" person for the job. Marubio has been a supervising judge in the Pretrial Division since 2021."Judge Marubio has been a trusted and valuable leader in the Pretrial Division under Judge Navarro," Chief Judge Tim Evans said in a statement.

The division Marubio now leads was expected to be significantly reoriented on Jan. 1 when cash bail was slated to be eliminated statewide. But those changes were halted by a decision from Kankakee County Chief Judge Thomas Cunnington, who ruled parts of the bail reform law were unconstitutional.
