Markus Funk was quoted in "'Unique' Longtime Jurist Virginia Kendall Set to Become Next Chief Judge of Chicago's Federal Court," an article in Chicago Sun Times, talking about Judge Kendall's career and her dedication to public servatude.
"What makes Judge Kendall stand out among her peers is that she has, throughout her career, gone above and beyond," Funk said by email. "Both as a federal prosecutor and a judge, she has dedicated countless hours in service of the voiceless. She has trained and sensitized prosecutors, judges, policymakers, and lawyers around the globe on the very real scourge of forced labor, the plight of crime victims, and other abuses of the most vulnerable among us."
