Illinois Supreme Court Fax Number — Fax Court Filings and Documents

The Illinois Supreme Court accepts faxed motions, briefs, emergency filings, attorney appearance forms, and settlement documents at 217-782-1741, though the court generally directs filers to electronic filing first. Fax submission tends to come into play for emergency motions or when e-filing is unavailable, so check the court's local rules before relying on it. Every page should carry the case number so the clerk can match your filing to the correct docket.

Tip: Put the case number prominently at the top of each page and confirm the clerk's office still accepts your document type by fax before sending.

If a deadline is involved, keep your delivery confirmation as proof of when the fax reached the court.
