Legal and court cost responsibility?
I believe I have a valid claim against my prior employer for breach of my employment contract. In Illinois, if this were to be litigated and I won, would the employer be required to pay my legal and court costs?

No fees in contract case
No. You cannot recover legal and court costs in a straight contract case, unless the contract itself provides for it. You would need to see if you have any other statutory claims that might entitle you to fees and/or costs.
