No motions should be noticed for hearing on days that are not listed on specified weeks.

Parties are asked to submit courtesy copies of all electronic filings. Please deliver courtesy copies to Judge Weisman’s chambers (Room 1318) within one business day of filing.

Please generate all electronic filings by printing to PDF from the original word processing file so that the text of the digital document is searchable. PDF images created by scanning are not searchable and should be used only for appendix or reference materials not available in PDF format.

Counsel should call Judge Weisman’s courtroom deputy (312-408-5058) as soon as possible if the parties resolve an issue that is scheduled for argument or under consideration by the Judge. After normal business hours, counsel may leave a message on the courtroom deputy’s voicemail.

Important Information

The Court employs these policies and rules to facilitate the efficient and equitable disposition of civil cases. Judge Weisman appreciates your willingness to familiarize yourself with these materials and to act accordingly to ensure the successful implementation of all case management procedures.

The parties are directed to Local Rule 16.1 and the Standing Order Establishing Pretrial Procedure in the Northern District of Illinois to the extent that the Standing Order is not modified by the specific orders and procedures of this Court.

Opportunities for Junior Lawyers

The Court is committed to supporting the development of our next generation of trial lawyers. The Court therefore strongly encourages parties to permit less experienced lawyers to actively participate in the proceedings by presenting argument at motion hearings, attending settlement conferences, or examining witnesses at hearings and trial.
