An Illinois Notice of Motion is a document used to notify the court, other parties, and their attorneys of an upcoming motion or a hearing. It is typically used when filing a motion or appearing in court in the state of Illinois. There are two main types of Illinois Notice of Motion: Notice of Motion and Order to Show Cause. Notice of Motion alerts the court and other parties that someone is filing a motion and includes the date, time, place, and purpose of the motion. The Notice of Motion must be served on all parties at least five days before the scheduled hearing. Order to Show Cause is similar to a Notice of Motion, but it requires a party to appear in court and explain why the court should not grant the motion that was filed. The Order to Show Cause must be served on all parties at least two days before the scheduled hearing.
