An Illinois Memorandum of Judgment is a legal document that records a court's decision in a civil lawsuit. It serves as evidence that the court has made a binding decision, and it is filed with the county clerk's office. There are two types of Illinois Memorandum of Judgment: a judgment on the pleadings and a default judgment. A judgment on the pleadings is entered after the parties have engaged in discovery and the court has heard arguments from both sides. A default judgment is entered when one of the parties fails to appear in court or otherwise fails to follow court orders. The memorandum of judgment includes the case number, the court's decision, and any monetary awards or damages. It also includes information about how the judgment may be enforced, such as wage garnishment or property liens.
