Philip J. Rarick

Philip J. Rarick (born 1940) was a Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court from 2002 to 2004.

Born in Troy, Illinois, Rarick received a B.A. from Southern Illinois University and a J.D. from Saint Louis University School of Law.[1] He entered private practice in Collinsville, Illinois in 1966, practicing until he became a judge of the Illinois Third Judicial Circuit in 1975.[1] In 1988, he was elected to the Illinois Appellate Court for the Fifth District.[1] In September 2002, the Illinois Supreme Court appointed Rarick to take Justice Moses Harrison's seat on that court upon the latter's retirement. Although he was expected to run for election to a full term in 2004, Rarick suffered a stroke in January 2003, and announced in September 2003 that he would not run for the seat.[2]
