Chief Justice Anne M. Burke spoke out about her career as she retires from the Illinois Supreme Court.
Wednesday was the last official day for Chief Justice Anne M. Burke at the Illinois Supreme Court.Burke has been on the Illinois Supreme Court for 16 years, the last three as Chief. And after more than 30 years as a judge, she is retiring."For someone who is dyslexic and dropped out of college and didn't go back until I was married and had kids, I can't believe the opportunities that I've had," Burke said.
"You just have to sit in the same room and work it out and we've done that a lot, but some people want to go back to the way it used to be," she said. "But that's just not going to be. That's not life. You just do what you have to do in the present and go forward." "Now there's going to be five women," she said. "I think that's pretty interesting and I think a lot more will get done."
