A:
In Illinois, if you believe your civil rights to due process were violated by a judge, there are steps you can take. Firstly, it's crucial to file an appeal against the judgment if you were unable to attend the hearing due to being in custody. An appeal can challenge the decision based on the fact that you were not present to defend yourself. You should also consider filing a complaint against the judge with the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board if you believe there was judicial misconduct.
Since legal aid has a conflict of interest, seek assistance from another attorney who specializes in civil rights or probate law, depending on the specifics of your case. Contacting bar associations for referrals or looking into pro bono legal services might be helpful. Document all the events, including your attempts to attend the hearing and any communication with the court. It’s important to act quickly due to time limits on appeals and complaints in the legal system.
