CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER – CATEGORY 2 CASES The intent of this order is for the parties to complete all discovery and for the court to rule on all dispositive motions within 26 months following the filing of the complaint. This order does not alter the application of Illinois Supreme Court Rule 218 – the 60-day rule.

22.1. In order to conserve judicial resources and promote efficiency in the administration of the Circuit Court, upon motion of any party or upon the court's own motion, the Circuit Court may assign or reassign related cases to a single judge wherever it serves the convenience of interested parties and the court.

At the case management conference, the court shall make an order which recites any action taken by the court, the agreements made by the parties as to any of the matters considered, and which specifies as the issues for trial those not disposed of at the conference.

If any motion is not called for hearing within 90 days, and in criminal cases within 30 days, from the date of filing, the court may set the motion for hearing and, upon hearing, may enter an order overruling or denying the motion by reason of the delay.

DIVISION OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF COOK COUNTY A prove-up is when at least the Petitioner, and sometimes the Respondent, appears in front of a judge to finalize their divorce case. A prove-up is the final step in a divorce case and is mandatory in Illinois.
