Repository
The case information provided in re:SearchIL from courts operating in the repository model is an accurate representation of cases and documents filed and accepted through eFileIL to each Illinois court. Documents entered into the case record (i.e., court orders or other filings), which are accepted outside of eFileIL, may be manually uploaded into re:SearchIL by the clerk. -
