Circuit Court of Cook County (Sixth Municipal District), Department District 6 - Civil Section

Appointed By: Illinois Supreme Court

Biography

Hon. Carrie E. Hamilton is a judge for the Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois. She was appointed to the Circuit Court by the Illinois Supreme Court in 2015. Hamilton filled the vacancy created by the retirement of Sandra Tristano (Ret.).


While on the bench, she has held an assignment in the Civil Section of the Sixth Municipal District of the Municipal Division.


Hamilton attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she received a B.A. in English and political science in 1993. She went on to complete a J.D. at Northwestern University School of Law in 1996.


After law school, she entered into private practice as a litigation associate with a focus in commercial litigation, first practicing at Muchin & Zavis (1996 to 1998) and then Grippo & Elden (1999 to 2001).


Hamilton then left the private sector to join the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois, where she served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney until her appointment to the Circuit Court in 2015. During her tenure there, she was named Deputy Chief of the Public Corruption and Organized Crime Section beginning in 2012. As such, she served on the prosecution team responsible for obtaining a conviction of former Illinois Governor Rod R. Blagojevich. Hamilton was one of several Department of Justice employees who received the Attorney General’s Award for Distinguished Service from then-Attorney General Eric Holder in 2012, for their efforts in what became known as “Operation Board Games.”


Her memberships included the American Bar Association, the Chicago Bar Association, and the Women’s Bar Association of Illinois.
