Not legal advice. BenchPath provides procedural information compiled from official public sources. BenchPath's materials are not a substitute for the advice of an attorney or for attorney judgment; they create no attorney–client relationship, and does not guarantee acceptance of any filing by any court. Court sources change without notice — verify urgent deadlines with the court, the clerk, or the judicial assistant. Every rule card shows its source, confidence level, and last-verified date; treat anything below high confidence as a lead, not an answer.

Emergency Motion — Workflow · BenchPath

Workflows
General
Emergency Motion

Emergency Motion

Before filing

1
Confirm the matter is a true emergency
Imminent, irreparable harm that regular scheduling cannot address — divisions reject mislabeled emergencies.
2
Read the division's emergency-motion instructions before filing
Emergency procedures are judge-specific; check the division page first.

Filing

3
Title the motion as an emergency and follow the circuit's emergency-review procedure
4
Serve the opposing party immediately
Unless seeking ex parte relief the law permits.

Scheduling

5
Contact the judicial assistant per division instructions
Do not simply set an emergency motion on the regular motion calendar.

After the hearing

6
Submit any order promptly in the required format
Rule: Proposed Orders: Word Format via Online Services — Division AO →

Steps marked “check the division's instructions” vary by judge — that variance is exactly what BenchPath tracks. Search your county and division for the specific requirements before relying on the generic sequence. Not legal advice.
