Illinois Summons (30 Days) is a legal document that is issued by an Illinois court to notify a person that he or she is being sued or is the subject of a legal action. The Summons is typically served by a sheriff or a process server, and it informs the recipient of the date, time, and location of the court hearing. It also outlines the legal action being taken against the recipient, as well as the penalties for failing to appear at the hearing. There are two types of Illinois Summons (30 Days): Summons for Service of Process and Summons for Appearance. The Summons for Service of Process is issued to inform the recipient of a legal action and allows the recipient to respond to the allegations within 30 days. The Summons for Appearance is issued to inform the recipient of the date, time, and location of a court hearing, and requires the recipient to appear at the hearing.
