Ill. Sup. Ct. R. 612
Committee Comments
(Revised 1979)
This rule was new in 1967. It cross-refers to all of the civil appeals rules that are applicable to criminal appeals.
The references to an agreed statement of facts, as provided in Rule 323(d), and to the constructive date of filing papers in the reviewing court, as provided in Rule 373, were added in 1969. The reference to Rule 302(b), which deals with by-passing the Appellate Court in appeals in cases in which the public interest requires expeditions determinations, was added in 1971.
In 1979, former paragraph (g), referring to the short record provided by repealed Rule 328, was deleted, and the successive paragraphs relettered. Newly lettered paragraphs (i), (k), and (l) were amended to reflect changes in Rules 342, 343, and 344. See the committee comments to those rules.
