UPDATED FRIDAY, February 26, 2010, 5:35p.m. The following details are provided for the convenience of trained Court Advocates, who are authorized to act as Court Advocates for D.A.W.G. If you are interested in being involved, please email courtadvocacy@dawgsite.org ABOUT UPDATES: Unless otherwise stated, the cases are Cook County, Illinois, cases. Be sure to check updates in the days before appearing in court. Details can even be added as late as the night before. CHECK INDIVIDUAL CASES IN THE “AUTOMATED VICTIM NOTIFICATION” (AVN) SYSTEM BY PHONE: In Cook County, check the most recent information on a particular case in the Circuit Court Clerk’s system by calling AVN: 877-846-3445. For English, press “1” and then “2” to check court hearing information. Then, as the message states, you will need EITHER "the Circuit Court Clerk’s case number, IR number, or the police incident report number" (see explanations at the *** below) OR the defendant’s first and last names with correct spelling. If you have one of the listed numbers, press “1”. If you have only the defendant’s name (correct spelling essential), press “2”. *** The Circuit Court Clerk's case number begins with the last two digits of the year in which the case was filed and typically ends with 01 or 02. We do not provide the IR number. The police incident report number for Chicago cases is the “RD number”, which begins with two letters (HR in 2009) followed by 6 numbers.
