Illinois Summons (Specific Day) is a legal document issued by the court to a defendant to appear in court on a specified day. It is also known as a court summons, which is essentially a legal notice from the court informing the defendant of the date, time, and place of their court hearing. Depending on the nature of the case, the summons may also contain details about the charges and the court’s expectations. The summons may be served in person, by mail, or by a law enforcement officer. There are two main types of Illinois Summons (Specific Day): the Summons for Appearance and the Summons for Discovery. The Summons for Appearance notifies the defendant of the date, time, and place of the court hearing, as well as the charges that they are facing. The Summons for Discovery requires the defendant to provide certain documents or other material requested by the court. Both types of summons must be served on the defendant in accordance with the law in order to be valid.
