I continue to report rampant judicial corruption on all levels of Illinois Court system; and how well-connected judicial cronies obtain their seats; fix cases in favor of their parties of interests, in violation of all applicable laws; and deprive litigants from civil rights, specially those who appear ProSe.

Judge Nathaniel Roosevelt Howse, Jr. is a well-connected jurist who became a Circuit Court Judge in 1998; and was assigned to the Appellate Court by the Supreme Court in 2009.  He was slated for this vacancy by the Cook County Democratic Party. According to public comments," Judge Howse has demonstrated his inability to have integrity or a backbone. Colleagues say he is a fence straddler, he does whatever he is told to do". 

Based on my personal experience, Justice Howse, freely acts is excess of all jurisdiction; trespass  applicable laws; steal honest services  from Illinois public; fix cases for his parties of interests; and deprive litigants from civil rights, specially whose who appear ProSe - all with total impunity, thanks to beneficial connections (see below) with powerful politicians, including  former President Barack Obama.

I doubt is Justice Howse, a member of Special Committee on Illinois Evidence, actually review cases before he rules in favor of his preferred parties. In my case,   the key  evidence was criminally concealed by corrupt Cook County Court Judge Robert E. Senechalle, Jr. and never became a part of my Appeal. 

Justice Howse, who never seen documents based on which Senechalle entered his void  decision, simply signed his favorable for Wells Fargo verdict  after his colleagues, Judge James R. Epstein and Judge David Ellis

Howse's  father, well-connected lawyer Nathaniel Roosevelt Howse, Sr.  worked as an assistant states attorney for Cook County before he started his own practice at a firm known as Frost, Claytor, Sherard and Howse. He and Thomas W. Sherard left the practice when he was appointed as a Cook County Judge and the firm became Howse and Howse. That firm merged to become Howse, Howse, Neville and Gray,  where his son, Nathaniel Roosevelt Howse, Jr.; and a long-time crony and law partner, well-connected  Judge P. Scott Neville, worked between 1990-2000.
Judge Nathaniel Roosevelt Howse's well-connected sister, Natalie Howse,  was a President of Cook County Bar Association who is currently works as Cook County Assistant Attorney General.
Judge Howse and his wife, Patricia (Patty) Howse are generous donors to many judicial and political campaign. (Judge Howse donated at least 137 times)

As a lawyer, Nathaniel R. Howse, Jr. practiced with another well-connected Chicago jurist, Barack H.  Obama, who represented the same clients as then-lawyers Nathaniel Howse and Philander Scott  Neville (now both are Appeal Court Justices)

In 1993-1994 Howse, Nevill  and Obama  represented Richard Barnett in case against Mayor Daley 32 F.3d 1196 Richard BARNETT, et al., Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. Richard M. DALEY, et al., No. 93-3644.
