Illinois Order-Rule To Show Cause is a legal document issued by a court in the state of Illinois. It requires a person or entity to appear before the court on a specific date and time and explain why certain action should not be taken against them. This document is commonly used in civil cases, especially when a party is alleged to have violated a court order or failed to do something they were required to do. There are two types of Illinois Order-Rule To Show Cause: 1) Order to Show Cause for Contempt and, 2) Order to Show Cause for Modification. An Order to Show Cause for Contempt is issued when someone is accused of violating a court order, while an Order to Show Cause for Modification is issued when someone is seeking to modify a court order.
