NEW SUPREME COURT RULE 138
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER IN CIVIL PLEADINGS AND RELATED MATTERS
The Illinois Supreme Court recently adopted Supreme Court Rule 138, which becomes effective January 1, 2012. The Rule states that, "unless otherwise required by law or ordered by the court, parties shall not include Social Security numbers in documents filed with the court, including exhibits thereto, whether filed electronically or in paper. If disclosure of an individual's Social Security number is required for a particular filing, only the last four digits of that number shall be used. The filing must be accompanied by a NOTICE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION WITHIN COURT FILING form, which shall identify the full Social Security number and shall remain confidential, except as to the parties or as the court may direct."

ORDER OF PROTECTION ONLINE ASSISTANCE
The McHenry County Circuit Clerk, in cooperation with the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court is pleased to offer online assistance in obtaining Orders of Protection, Civil No Contact Orders or Stalking No Contact Orders. The electronic system for filing Orders of Protection will hopefully make what is a complicated, time consuming process, faster and easier. If you are requesting an Order of Protection, you will still be required to come to the Courthouse to sign your petition and see a judge, but this new electronic system allows you to complete the paperwork ahead of time, reducing the amount of time you will spend at the Courthouse.
