Good access to justice news! The @illinoiscourts amended Rule 9, allowing self-represented litigants to file by mail, in person, or by other means if they're unable to complete the e-filing process on their own & unable to get assistance from the court. bit.ly/2YFqiN3

Attorneys A-M: June 30 is right around the corner. Need more time? File "Not Yet Complied" via our online reporting system, to secure a no-cost extension until September 30.
We know you want to check on arrested loved ones. CPD is flooded with so many calls, that our attorneys can't get through. Instead of calling CPD, please call 844-81-RIGHT and we will check on them for you. Let's work together to stop this injustice!!!💪🏽💪🏾💪🏻💪
