The political assassination of Judge James R. Brown: Lawfare offs a lawfare critic – Wirepoints

The cancel mob lives on. The latest example is in Illinois courts. There, the mob could hardly have been more brazen, defrocking a judge for daring to write about one of their favorite weapons – “lawfare” – abuse of the legal system for political or social goals.

James R. Brown was a 20-year Cook County judge who retired in 2020. He was reinstated as a judge on December 11, 2025 to handle traffic cases for a term of about a year. Reinstatements like that of retired judges are common to fill temporary vacancies on the bench.

It turned out that Brown had authored an article in September 2025, when he was not a judge, listing examples of lawfare. The list is pretty typical of instances alleged by conservatives of lawfare waged by the left in recent years. Brown’s article also cheers what he sees as a current trend against lawfare and progress bringing its wrongdoers to justice.

Enter two left-leaning lawyer groups: the Chicago Council of Lawyers and the Cook County Bar Association. Each wrote to the Illinois Supreme Court demanding that it terminate Brown’s reinstatement.

“Judge Brown spouted conspiracy theories and propaganda that pervades right wing media in this country and expressed hostility and threats to people who hold political and legal views contrary to those he expressed,” wrote the Council. “The stated views reflected bias and prejudice on race, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. The statements in question are wildly inappropriate for a member of the judiciary to be making,” they said.
