FAQ

Court processes often require motions. Motions are filed by legal teams to initiate different phases of a case or to request the court's action. A motion of discovery, or discovery motion, is one of the first motions filed in a civil or criminal court case. It starts the exchange of evidence between both sides.

Filing a Motion via E-filing You can e-file using a personal computer or at one of the public access eFile workstations offered at the Daley Center and in suburban courthouses. You must have an email address to e-file.

Your court may have a specific form that needs to be filed for a motion, and you will usually also submit supporting documents like an affidavit in support of the motion, a memorandum of law (if necessary), and exhibits that would be admissible at a hearing.

You use discovery to get information or evidence from the other side in a lawsuit that will help you make your case. In order to get the information you need, you must make a request using a specific procedure and written format, within a specific timeframe.

Disclosure is accomplished through a methodical process called "discovery." Discovery takes three basic forms: written discovery, document production, and depositions.

A motion is a paper you can file in your case. It asks the court to decide something in your case. For example, if you need more time to answer a complaint against you, you can file a motion to extend the time to answer. If you do not have a case, you cannot file a motion.

A motion is an application to the court made by the prosecutor or defense attorney, requesting that the court make a decision on a certain issue before the trial begins. The motion can affect the trial, courtroom, defendants, evidence, or testimony.

A “motion to dismiss” is typically filed in response to a complaint and is made in lieu of filing an “answer.” Technically, a plaintiff can move to “strike” a defense that a defendant has pled, given that defenses are subject to the same pleading requirements as are the plaintiff's claims.

Either side in a case can file a motion. In some instances, a non-party may file a motion (for example, a motion to quash a subpoena issued in the case). Motions are electronically filed (e-file) with the court clerk where your case is being heard and are decided by a judge at a motion hearing.
