On January 1, 2011, the new Illinois Rules of Evidence will go into effect. In 2008, the Illinois Supreme Court, at the behest of then Chief Justice Fitzgerald, formed a committee to codify the rules of evidence in Illinois. The rules are available on the Illinois Supreme Court’s Website. In addition, you can go to former Appellate Court Justice Gino DiVito’s website and download his color coded and annotated guide to the new rules. Justice DiVito was a member of the committee that drafted the new rules and he only asks that you check his law firm’s website from time to time for updates. Happy reading!
