Ill. R. Cir. Ct. Lake Cnty. 1-2.05

As amended through September 23, 2024

Rule 1-2.05 - Method of Filing

A. Initial case filings will require all parties to be identified, the Plaintiff's Attorney, case type, case subtype, ad damnum if required and the document being filed. These fields for all filings after the initial pleading will be automatically included and only new parties, attorneys or documents need be indicated.

B. Upon good cause shown, the Court may allow a document or pleading to be filed in a specific case using a nonelectronic manner of filing. In those circumstances, the Clerk of the Circuit Court shall scan nonelectronically filed documents into the electronic file as text-searchable PDF documents.

C. Physical items for which a photograph may be substituted may be electronically imaged and e-filed. Items not conducive to electronic filing, such as physical exhibits for which an image will not suffice shall be filed in their physical form at the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court or in the courtroom, as directed by Order of Court. The Motion and Notice of Motion for permission to file any of these physical items shall be done electronically.
