A Message from Clerk Mariyana T. Spyropoulos:
Dear Cook County residents,
I am proud to share the 2025 Impact Report for the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County. This report reflects a year of intentional work to open the front door to justice by strengthening transparency, accountability, and accessibility across every part of our office.
In 2025, we concentrated on building systems that support public trust. We reviewed policies and public access practices, closed long-standing compliance gaps, and made sure all required reporting is fully up to date. We expanded public access through the appointment of a Public Access Director and launched the Clerk’s first public data dashboard, giving residents direct insight into court activity dating back to 2020. We also expanded language access services and improved courthouse signage to help residents navigate court facilities more easily.
In addition, we advanced modernization efforts that improve how the court system functions day to day. The launch of e-Citation allows moving traffic citations to enter the court system electronically, reducing delays, minimizing errors, and helping residents address their cases sooner.
Access to justice must extend beyond courthouse walls. Throughout the year, we showed up in communities across Cook County, reaching more than 90 percent of municipalities. We hosted the Second Chance Summit, Mental Health Summits, a Women’s Empowerment Seminar for survivors of domestic violence, and additional forums to connect residents with information, resources, and opportunity.
Internally, we strengthened the office by investing in our workforce through updated policies, training, hiring, and improved operational coordination. These efforts ensure consistent, high quality service for the public.
The progress outlined in this report lays a strong foundation for continued improvement. I remain committed to leading an office that is accessible, accountable, and worthy of the public’s trust.
