Judge Coleman's Case Procedures

Memorandum of Law Requirements

The fifteen (15) page limitation on all memoranda contained in Local Rule 7.1 shall be strictly enforced. A motion for leave to exceed that limit shall not be granted unless warranted.

Parties must attach to their motion memoranda, as an exhibit, copies of any cited authority that is unpublished on both Westlaw and Lexis. There is no need to attach any cited authority present on either Westlaw or Lexis. If possible, citations to Westlaw (rather than Lexis) are preferred.



Illinois cases should be cited to both Illinois Appellate Court Reports and N.E.2d.

Any party—counsel and unrepresented parties alike— using Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) in connection with the filing of a pleading, motion, or memorandum of law in this Court must comply with Rule 11(b) and Rule 26(g) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The court prohibits the use AI-generated legal research containing false or inaccurate propositions or citing non-existent cases.

 

Briefing schedules are generally set by Court order. A motion for extension of time shall not be granted except on a showing of good cause. The circumstances warranting an extension shall be set forth in detail by written motion.


The Court will also consider motions at scheduled status hearings, so long as the notice requirements of Local Rule 5.3 have been met.
