An Illinois Order for Substitution of Judge or Refusal is a legal document that allows a party in a case to request that a judge step down from it. It is typically used when a party believes a judge is biased or has a conflict of interest that could influence the outcome of the case. There are two types of substitution orders in Illinois: substitution of judge and refusal. A substitution of judge order requires the judge to step down from the case and allows the parties to choose a different judge to preside over the case. This type of order is usually granted if the party can prove that the judge is biased or has acted improperly. A refusal order requires the judge to step down only from specific matters within the case. This type of order is usually granted if the party can prove that the judge has a financial or personal interest in the outcome of the case. In order to obtain an Illinois Order for Substitution of Judge or Refusal, the party must file a petition with the court. The petition must include evidence that the judge is biased or has a conflict of interest. The court will then review the petition and decide whether to grant it.
