Cynthia Y. Cobbs, director of the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts, announced the results Monday.
Goodwin is affiliated with Dukes, Ryan, Meyer, Freed, Goodwin, et al. in Danville. He received his law degree from John Marshall in Chicago after earning his undergraduate degree from Illinois State University in 1984.
