An Illinois Taken Under Advisement Order (TUA) is a court order issued by a judge during a criminal case in the state of Illinois. It is a form of plea bargaining in which the defendant agrees to plead guilty in exchange for a reduced sentence. The judge will then take the plea agreement under advisement and defer sentencing until a later date. This allows the defendant to avoid the risk of a harsher sentence if the judge finds them guilty at trial. There are two types of TUA orders: deferred sentencing and probationary sentences. With deferred sentencing, the judge defers sentencing until some point in the future, usually after the defendant has completed a certain amount of community service or treatment. With probationary sentences, the judge defers sentencing and places the defendant on probation instead.
