Edwardsville attorney and part time Madison County public defender Ronald R. Slemer will be appointed associate judge in the Third Judicial Circuit.
The Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts made the announcement in a press release today.
Associate judges are selected by vote among the court’s elected circuit judges.
