This question makes no sense. Do you mean what qualifications do they need? Some Illinois judges are elected and some are appointed. Those that are elected go up for retention periodically and people get to vote whether to retain them (none are ever not retained no matter how bad they may be).
As of 2013, there are over one thousand judges in Illinois. Some of the names of the judges are Brad K. Bleyer, Mark M. Boie, Mark H. Clarke, and James R. Moore.
im pretty sure it is the executive branch. the president is the one who chooses the people that become judges
