I ended up googling the names of the judges up for election or retention on my ballot. I figured that if Google knew of a report that mentioned them, it would be found. All I did find that was useful for most of them was the website for the 19th Circuit in Illinois, which is where four of the five judges on my ballot are (three of four for retention that I mentioned previously, and one for an outright unopposed election that I didn't see earlier). That site was at least marginally useful since it had some information on the history of each judge. A lot can be gleaned from what appointments and promotions they've each had in figuring out what some other judges and political folk have thought about them.

The other judge is looking for retention in the 2nd Appellate District, and I found a lot of information on her. In addition to a lot of "this judge is a good one, we suggest retaining her" pages, I also found some of her own handiwork, which was quite good.

Your suggested URLs were fruitless as far as information on the judges in my area, but I appreciate the try. Should be useful for a lot of people that live directly between you and me. :)
