In this 2018 photo, Judge Kate Gorman, of the 10th Judicial Circuit, holds up a placard with a quote from Abraham Lincoln at the unveiling of a portrait of the 16th president at the Peoria County Courthouse in Peoria, Ill. It’s not lost on Kate Gorman that her tenure as chief judge of the 10th Judicial Circuit is historic, but she doesn’t want to dwell on that. Rather, Gorman doesn’t want to just be known as the first woman to head the five counties that compose the circuit, nor does she want to be known as the first child of a former chief judge — her father, John Gorman, served as chief from 1994 to 1998.(Fred Zwicky/Journal Star via AP)
