Ill. R. Cir. Ct. Lake Cnty. 1-1.18
Judges shall begin court promptly at the designated time. All attorneys and parties shall appear promptly before the Court. In the event that a party or attorney fails to appear promptly, the Court may impose such sanctions or take such remedial action as it deems appropriate. In the event that the failure of a party or attorney to appear promptly renders it impossible to proceed, the Court may order the party or attorney failing to appear promptly to pay reasonable costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, to the opposing party or attorney. If counsel is required to be present in another courtroom in the same jurisdiction at the same time, he shall first check in with the clerk of the courtroom where he cannot be present at the start of the court call, provide the location of the other courtroom where he will be present and so notify all other parties involved. Upon completion of the other court matter, he shall immediately return to any courtroom where he has matters pending.
