Certification For Exemption From Efiling (Appellate) {ATJ 8020.5}

ATJ 8020.5 - CERTIFICATION FOR EXEMPTION FROM E-FILING. This is an official Illinois Supreme Court–approved document used in the Illinois Appellate Court for individuals seeking a good-cause exemption from mandatory electronic filing under Illinois Supreme Court Rule 9(d)(2). It allows self-represented litigants or attorneys to certify why they are unable to e-file—such as lack of internet access, no email account, limited English proficiency, or technical difficulties. Certain parties, including those who are incarcerated, involved in juvenile cases, or have disabilities preventing e-filing, are automatically exempt. The form must be submitted directly to the Appellate Clerk’s Office in person or by mail, following local court rules. www.FormsWorkflow.com
