I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Illinois Courts (Decatur, IL) in Nov 2016
Interview
Interviews were scheduled ten minutes apart, and ran entirely on time. The interviewers were current Circuit Court judges including the chief judge of the Circuit Court. Interview questions were friendly, but made it clear that despite the number of applicants, applications had been read.
