The Illinois Civil Action Cover Sheet-Case Initiation is a form used to initiate civil cases in the state of Illinois. It is a standard form that must be completed and submitted to the court by the party initiating the lawsuit. The cover sheet includes information about the parties involved, the type of case, and the relief sought. It also provides the court with a summary of the legal arguments that will be presented in the case. There are two types of Illinois Civil Action Cover Sheet-Case Initiations: Notice of Lawsuit and Complaint. The Notice of Lawsuit is used to notify the defendant of the lawsuit and to provide them with basic information about the lawsuit. The Complaint is the formal document that sets forth the plaintiff’s claims and the relief sought. It must be signed and dated by the plaintiff and their attorney. Both types of cover sheet must be filed with the court in order to initiate the civil case. The court will then review the cover sheets to determine if the case is appropriate for the court and if the plaintiff has stated a valid legal claim.
