The Lake County Courthouse is at 18 North County Street in Waukegan and handles all Lake County DUI cases charged under 625 ILCS 5/11-501. Misdemeanor DUI charges are heard on the misdemeanor call, and felony aggravated DUI cases run through felony courtrooms in the same complex. Arrests by Waukegan, Gurnee, Vernon Hills, Libertyville, Mundelein, Deerfield, and Illinois State Police all funnel to the Waukegan courthouse. A Lake County DUI lawyer appears at Waukegan for arraignments, status dates, summary suspension hearings, motion practice, and trials.
