An Illinois Final Pretrial Order (Judge Lynch) is an official document issued by a trial court in the state of Illinois that sets out the agreed-upon matters in a civil lawsuit prior to the trial. This document is prepared by the judge presiding over the trial and outlines the procedures, evidence, and witnesses to be presented at the trial. The Final Pretrial Order also sets forth the deadlines for filing and arguing motions, the time frame for the trial, and any other orders necessary for the case to proceed. There are two types of Illinois Final Pretrial Orders (Judge Lynch): a general pretrial order and a special pretrial order. The general pretrial order is the standard document issued in most civil cases, while the special pretrial order is used in specific cases that require special considerations.
