Abstract
Civil procedure is a central part of the United States legal system. The federal rules of civil procedure are taught in law schools across the country to ensure that law students know the rules that govern courts. However, in the United States, there are at least fifty one different code of civil procedure. This note explores the differences between federal civil procedure and Illinois civil procedure by comparing motions to dismiss. Understanding the subtle differences in federal and state civil procedure can have an important impact on the outcome of cases.
