The state's unified court system was solidified in 1970 with the state Constitution and is comprised of an Illinois Supreme Court, the Appellate Court, and Circuit Courts. The Supreme Court is the highest court in the state of the Land of Lincoln. Except for death-penalty cases that get appealed directly to the Supreme Court, all other cases get passed to the Appellate Court. This court has exclusive and original jurisdiction over legislative matters, cases involving the Governor, and anything related to writs of mandamus, prohibition, or habeas corpus. The Supreme Court has seven justices. This state has a total of 893 judges including Supreme, Circuit, and Appellate Courts.
Most court records in the state are open to the public. However, juvenile records and adoption records along with any court sealed or expunged records will not show up. Each county has their own public records and provides access either in person or online. Additionally, the federal government has strict laws about certain information that cannot be included in open court documents such as social security numbers, mental health records, expungement records, children’s names, banking information, tax IDs and trade secrets. Things like this must be removed or redacted from the files before they are made public.
As of 2016, Illinois requires e-filing for all civil cases in the Supreme, Appellate, and Circuit type courts. They use an online system called eFileIL. In some instances, they also allow electronic filing for criminal cases. They have expanded their system to include a records access area called SearchIL. Users must review the strict standards for electronic filing and stick to the guidelines when submitting. E-filing vendor fees are now waived. Additionally, their online system allows patrons to plead guilty, check filing fees and court date, pay traffic tickets, pay other fees and renew licenses. The state court website has dozens of links including an electronic access policy to help with e-filing and providing public access and support. Users can check with the clerk's office for more information on court services.

The state's Judicial Circuit Courts are the original jurisdiction courts for the state. The state is divided up into twenty-four circuits. Only six are single-county circuits; the rest include at least two counties up to twelve. These courts share jurisdiction with the Supreme Court in matters of revenue, mandamus, prohibition, and habeas corpus. Circuit judges are voted into office and serve a six-year term. Because these courts are the only lower courts, cases of all types are heard there. Any decisions made in Circuit judges must be appealed to the Appellate Court unless it deals with the death penalty and then it would go directly to the Supreme Court. Patrons can contact the clerk of the circuit court with any questions.
