Written requests for a continuance must be received not less than two business days prior to the court date. Such requests will be attached to the court file for consideration by the judge assigned to the case. Only one written request per case will be accepted. Persons receiving a continuance will be notified by the Clerk of the Circuit Court by mail. Punishable by Fines will be followed.
Persons also have the option of seeking a continuance by appearing on the motion call.
The case will be called in court the same day the motion is scheduled and the person whose motion is being heard will have the option of requesting a continuance or pleading guilty and resolving the case. There is no motion call the first Friday of each month. Persons with tickets issued outside Chicago should write the courthouse in the district where the ticket was issued for further information about motion calls.
