The Illinois General Post Trial Order (GPO) is a form used by the court to set out the conditions for a case being resolved. This form is used for both civil and criminal cases in the state of Illinois. The GPO can be divided into two categories: a general order and an order for a specific case. The general order outlines the basic process for the closure of a case, including the filing of the final order, the entry of judgment, the payment of costs, and the issuance of certificates of satisfaction. It also details the procedure for filing an appeal. The order for a specific case is a more detailed document that outlines the individual conditions of the case, such as the payment of fees, the assessment of costs, and the filing of the final judgment. The order also outlines the specific process for the closure of the case, including the filing of the final order, the entry of judgment, the payment of costs, and the issuance of certificates of satisfaction. The GPO is used by the Illinois courts to ensure consistent and fair resolution of cases. It is an important document for both court staff and parties involved in a case.
