Celebrating 50 Years Serving Chicago · 1976 – 2026
Trial Runs · Out-of-town law firms

In trial in Chicago? We keep the war room moving.

Exhibit binders, banker’s boxes, the printer and the laptop with the closing, between your office, the courthouse and the hotel war room, every day of the trial. In from out of town? Comet is your team’s runner in Chicago: hotel deliveries, lunch for the war room, pickups from the store, whatever the team needs.

Plan your trial runs

What trial teams and visiting attorneys send us for

Early mornings before court, late nights after the revisions, and everything in between.

War room to courtroomBoxes, binders and exhibits to the courthouse before court opens, and back to the war room at the end of the day.
Overnight revisionsRevised exhibits and binders printed, bound and delivered through Court Copies, ready for the morning.
Hotel deliveriesFiles, binders, laptops and the suit from the cleaner, brought to your attorneys at the hotel.
Lunch for the war roomWe pick up the order from the restaurant and carry it in, so nobody leaves trial prep for food.
Shopping pickupsYou order it, we pick it up: chargers, supplies, the shirt that didn’t make the trip.
Out-of-town counselYour hotel, local counsel’s office, the court reporter and the courthouse. We handle the Chicago side so your team doesn’t have to.
EquipmentPrinters, monitors and laptops in and out of the war room, with Device Runs.

Each delivery is signed for, and your team gets a receipt with the name and the time.

Trials need a plan, so call or send the schedule. Single runs book like any Comet delivery.

Questions

What does it cost?

Each run is priced like any Comet delivery between those addresses. For a multi-day trial, ask for a dedicated driver and the office will quote it from your schedule.

We’re an out-of-town firm. Can you help?

Yes. Send us your hotel, your local counsel’s office if you have one, and the courtroom. We handle the runs in Chicago, and we can print your courtesy copies here so nothing has to be shipped.

Can you run errands for our visiting attorneys?

Yes. Hotel deliveries, lunch runs, and pickups of anything already ordered or paid for. If your team needs something moved in Chicago, call us.

Can you print and bind exhibits?

Yes, through Court Copies: printed, bound, tabbed and delivered. Small jobs can go the same day.

How early can you run?

Comet works around the clock. Runs before court opens and after late revisions are normal.

Which courthouses?

The Daley Center, Dirksen Federal Building, the Appellate Court at 160 N LaSalle, and the suburban courthouses: Skokie, Rolling Meadows, Maywood, Bridgeview, Markham, Wheaton, Waukegan, Geneva and Joliet.

Do you serve papers?

No. Comet delivers and carries; we don’t serve process.
