Illinois Supreme Court Standardized Forms

Everybody has the right to represent themselves in court. However, please be aware filing any legal action can be a complicated procedure for those not trained in doing so. The Circuit Clerk’s office recommends all litigants seek legal advice before filing any documents with the court. Staff of the Circuit Clerk’s office are not attorneys and are strictly prohibited from providing legal advice under Title 28 U.S.C. Section 955.

Below are interactive court forms that can be completed and printed for scanning, and electronically filed, by attorneys or self-represented litigants to streamline the judicial process.

Please note that while we provide a number of forms for our filers, some documents are not standardized and must be created by the filer.

Statewide Forms

The Illinois Supreme Court has set out a formal process for the development, review and approval of standardized forms in areas of law and practice where there is a high volume of self-represented litigants. The forms are more user-friendly and required to be accepted by all courts in the state.
