Frequently Asked Questions

How is mediation different from a Cook County trial?

Mediation is a private, voluntary process where a neutral helps parties reach their own settlement. A trial at the Daley Center ends with a judge or jury deciding for you. Mediation is usually faster and more flexible.

Is arbitration binding in Illinois?

Arbitration can be binding or non-binding, depending on the parties’ agreement. Binding arbitration produces a final, enforceable award. Your attorney can explain which option fits your dispute.

Why choose ADR over the Chicago court system?

Court dockets in Cook County can take months or years to reach trial. ADR often resolves disputes far faster and keeps the outcome private. It also gives parties more control over scheduling.
