Instructions for Notice of Hearing (Confidential Records) Form
When should this form be used?
If you have filed a Motion that you want to be heard by a judge, you need to set a hearing before
the judge and send notice of the hearing to the other party or parties in your case and to any
affected non-party.
What should I do first?
To set a hearing date and time, you have to make a good-faith effort to coordinate a mutually
convenient date and time for you, the other parties in the case, and the judge. You should first
call the office of the assigned judge and obtain hearing dates and times from his/her assistant.
You should then call the attorney for the other party in your case to determine whether they are
available on any of the dates and times given to you by the judge’s assistant. The final step is to
call the judge’s office back to confirm the agreed upon date and time.
Preparing the Notice of Hearing:
After the date and time have been confirmed, you should complete the Notice of Hearing form,
sign it, make copies of it, and e-mail or U.S. mail a copy to the other party and any affected non-
party.
This form should be typed or printed in black ink. After completing this form, you should E-file
the original with the clerk of the circuit court in the county where your case was filed. Make
copies first to send to the other party and to keep for your records.
What should I do next?
A copy of this form must be e-mailed, U.S. mail, or hand delivered to the other party and any
affected non-party in your case.
