Illinois Supreme Court Rule 218 Order (Case Management Conference) is a court order issued by the Illinois Supreme Court that requires parties involved in a case to attend a Case Management Conference. The purpose of the Case Management Conference is for the parties to discuss the progress of the case, the possibility of settlement, and the scheduling of future proceedings. The order also sets out the duties of each party in preparing for the conference. There are two types of Illinois Supreme Court Rule 218 Order (Case Management Conference): one for civil cases and one for criminal cases. The civil case order requires the parties to come to the conference with detailed and accurate information about the case, including a list of all parties involved, a summary of the facts of the case, and a list of any pending motions. The criminal case order requires the parties to provide information regarding any plea negotiations, as well as all relevant evidence. Both orders require the parties to make a good faith effort to resolve the case before the conference. If the parties do not reach an agreement, the court will issue further orders regarding the proceedings.
