forms, and the Illinois Statutory Power of Attorney forms. The full list of
included forms can be viewed by selecting "Library" on the IllinoisBarDocs

above. New forms and practice areas will be added on an ongoing basis.


HOW DO I PURCHASE ILLINOISBARDOCS?

 2. Once you are on the IllinoisBarDocs product page, you must register in order
    to verify that you are an ISBA member. To do so, click on "Register" in the
    upper right-hand corner of the screen.
 3. Once you are on the Register page, fill in all required information. The
    email address you enter must be the primary email address you have on file

    information below under "How do I locate my primary email address that is on
    file with the ISBA?".

    you are an ISBA member and you will then be able to purchase an
    IllinoisBarDocs subscription.
 5. On the IllinoisBarDocs product page, select your desired subscription option

Yes. Support staff is allowed to use an attorney's IllinoisBarDocs subscription

DO I NEED ANY SPECIAL SOFTWARE TO USE ILLINOISBARDOCS?

No. IllinoisBarDocs is powered by a cloud-based version of HotDocs document

The Microsoft Word forms created with IllinoisBarDocs can be edited, stored, and
used like any other Microsoft Word file. The PDF forms created with
IllinoisBarDocs (currently only two) can not be edited after they are created
with the system and downloaded. To subsequently edit the PDF forms, you need to
go back into the IllinoisBarDocs system to make necessary changes and
download an updated form.
