Ill. Sup. Ct. R. 328
Any party seeking relief from the reviewing court before the record on appeal is filed shall file an application or petition with an appropriate supporting record containing enough of the trial court record to show an appealable order or judgment, a timely filed and served notice of appeal (if required for appellate jurisdiction), and any other matter necessary to the application made. The supporting record must be authenticated by the certificate of the clerk of the trial court or by the affidavit of the attorney or party filing it.
The supporting record shall bear the caption of the appeal and be clearly labelled "Supporting Record." The pagination of the supporting record shall conform to the requirements of Rule 324 and the Standards and Requirements for Electronic Filing the Record on Appeal.
Ill. Sup. Ct. R. 328
Commentary
(December 17, 1993)
The new rule on supporting record is an adaptation of former Rule 328, "Short Record," which was repealed in 1979 and incorporated into Rule 361. This rule provides the requirements for a uniform, limited supporting record, which a party is required to file in various situations under a number of different rules.
