What is the drafting attorney's procedural and IRPC responsibility to first present proposed order text to the pro se litigant, for agreement or objection, antecedent to obtaining the court's date-stamp?

I suggest that you look at the local orders and rules for the appropriate court as well as the Illinois Supreme Court Rules to find your answers. Asking for citations and references goes beyond the parameteres of this forum. Good luck.
