COURT NOTES
continue to study the most effective and efficient ways to handle the dockets that has recently included a re-alignment of Traffic Court and Driving Under the Influence cases. We are working through the changeover and making adjustments as needed. If you represent someone on a traffic citation, please check your courtroom location upon entering the Courthouse as we have a rotating schedule. We await word from the Illinois Supreme Court on the relaxing of Covid mandates within the Courthouse and will advise as soon as we hear something. As always, should you have any questions or concerns on court operations, please contact Trial Court Administrator William Scanlon at (309) 888-5266. Happy Valentine’s Day! Best regards.
