Alan Greiman, a Democratic state legislator and later an Illinois appellate court judge, has died.
Justice Alan Greiman reads the oath of office during the Inauguration of the Illinois House of Representatives on Jan. 11, 2017, at Sangamon Auditorium on the University of Illinois Springfield campus.
“He was a man of amazing wit and mind and was very smart,” said former state Rep. and former House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie. “He did a great job negotiating every difficult issue that came before the Illinois General Assembly during his tenure there.” Greiman’s early career was with a small Chicago law firm, handling wills, divorces and trusts, then moving into real estate law..
A political progressive, Greiman sponsored several bills that did not come to fruition, including the first bill in the country banning discrimination on the basis of age, according to his wife. He was a sponsor of the Equal Rights Amendment and of legislation barring discrimination based on sexual orientation, although that latter bill did become law much later.
In mid-1987, Greiman was appointed a Cook County Circuit Court judge, and he won election to the bench in 1988.Greiman was assigned to the Law Division, which handles higher-stakes personal injury and other lawsuits seeking monetary damages. Hamos said her husband liked “everything” about being a judge, including the intellectual challenge and the position of actually making law.
