The Illinois Civil Action Cover Sheet is a form that must be filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court in all civil actions in the state of Illinois. It is required for all types of civil cases, such as divorce, breach of contract, eviction, and small claims. The form must be filed with the Complaint and must include a case number, a jurisdiction code, the filing date, the name of the plaintiff and defendant, the type of action, and the name and address of the attorney (if any) representing the parties. The Illinois Civil Action Cover Sheet is used to provide the court with information about the parties and the type of case being filed. It is used to help the court determine the applicable filing fee and to ensure that the case is assigned to the proper court and placed in the proper category. The cover sheet also assists the court in tracking the progress of the case. There are two types of Civil Action Cover Sheets in Illinois: the Standard Civil Action Cover Sheet and the Mandatory Arbitration Cover Sheet. The Standard Civil Action Cover Sheet is used for all types of civil cases, while the Mandatory Arbitration Cover Sheet is used only in cases that require arbitration under the Illinois Arbitration Act.
