Illinois Supreme Court Approves New Statewide Appellate Forms

The Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Access to Justice has approved four new suites of standardized Appellate Court forms:

1. Docketing Statement;
2. Request for Preparation of Record on Appeal;
3. Bystander's Report or Agreed Statement of Facts; and
4. Request for Report of Proceedings (Transcripts).

The Commission's standardized forms are designed to promote, facilitate, and enhance equal access to justice with an emphasis on access to the Illinois Civil Courts. They may be used for filing in any of the five Districts of the Appellate Court statewide. The new forms are available here.
