Illinois Entry Of appearance (Pro Se) is a form that is used by a party who is representing themselves in a court proceeding without the assistance of a lawyer or attorney. This form must be completed and filed with the court prior to the hearing or trial date. It serves to inform the court that the party is aware of their rights and responsibilities and is present to represent themselves. There are two types of Illinois Entry Of appearance (Pro Se): the Appearance and Waiver of Service of Summons and the Appearance and Waiver of Subpoena. The Appearance and Waiver of Service of Summons is used by a party to waive their right to receive a summons and inform the court that they are aware of the court proceedings and are participating in them. The Appearance and Waiver of Subpoena is used by a party who has received a subpoena to waive their right to respond to the subpoena and inform the court that they are aware of the court proceedings and are participating in them.
