Illinois Notice is a legal notification that is issued by the state of Illinois. It is a written notice, usually sent by mail, that informs a person or entity of a legal action that is pending against them. This could be a summons, a lawsuit, or a court order. The notice must contain all relevant information, including the name of the court, the case number, the name of the parties involved, and a summary of the legal action that is being taken. There are two main types of Illinois Notice: Summons and Complaint, and Order to Show Cause. Summons and Complaint informs the recipient that they are being sued, and that they must appear in court or respond to the complaint. An Order to Show Cause is a court order which requires a person to appear in court and explain why they should not be held in contempt.
