As of July 1, 2018, E-Filing became mandatory in Illinois for all Civil Areas (except Quasi-Criminal, Housing and Wills). The Illinois Supreme Court mandated Cook County to Utilize the Statewide Electronic Filing System (eFileIL) for Civil Case Filings in Cook County - Illinois Supreme Court Order M.R. 18368. E-Filing will streamline the process for filing documents, generating long-term cost savings.
The eFileIL System is not proprietary to the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County.
The eFileIL System is the Illinois Supreme Court's statewide e-filing initiative providing a uniform filing experience for Attorneys and Self-Represented Litigants (SRLs) to any Illinois court using technology provided through the Administrative Offices of the Illinois Courts using software provided by Tyler Technologies. For any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact Tyler Technologies at: efiling.support@tylertech.com.
