Please be advised: There has been nationwide reporting of phishing emails that imitate CM/ECF Notices of Docket Activity (NDAs) being sent to attorneys and law firms. These fake NDAs are phishing attempts to trick recipients into replying back to the emails. Once a recipient replies to the email, they are quickly sent a corresponding email containing a link to access a document that leads the user to a malicious website.

Please remember that you should only validate cases and case documentation through CM/ECF, and avoid downloading attachments or clicking links from unofficial or questionable sources.

If you have any questions concerning the authenticity of any communications purporting to be from this court, please contact the Clerk’s Office at 312.435.5850.

The Court will be closed on Thursday
November 28, 2024, and Friday, November 29, 2024, in observance of the holiday.
