Supreme Court Rule 218 Order (Case Management Conference) {171-139}

171-139 - SUPREME COURT RULE 218 CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER. This form is used by the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit in Lake County, Illinois, to manage and schedule the progress of civil cases as required under Illinois Supreme Court Rule 218. It is typically entered following a court appearance by the parties or their counsel during a Rule 218 call, which serves to monitor the status and movement of cases toward trial.
