Illinois Notice to Self Represented Persons is a document issued by the Illinois state court system to inform individuals of their rights and responsibilities when representing themselves in a legal matter. This notice applies to all cases in the state court system and provides guidance on what forms must be completed, how to obtain information about the case, and what to expect at court hearings. There are two types of Illinois Notice to Self Represented Persons: one for civil cases and one for criminal cases. The civil case notice informs the self-represented person of their rights in a civil court proceeding, including filing an answer to the complaint, attending hearings, and filing motions. The criminal case notice provides information on what to expect in a criminal court proceeding, such as when to appear in court and what documents must be filed. Both notices provide information on how to obtain assistance from the court clerk and contact information for the state court system.
