Alternative Dispute Resolution Coordinating Committee

The Alternative Dispute Resolution Coordinating Committee is one of seven standing committees of the Illinois Judicial Conference, whose membership is appointed by the Supreme Court. The charge of the Committee is to monitor and assess the court-annexed mandatory arbitration programs. The Committee also surveys and compiles information on existing court-supported dispute resolution programs, suggests broad-based policy recommendations, explores and examines innovative dispute resolution processing techniques and studies the impact of proposed rule amendments. In addition, the Committee proposes rule amendments in response to suggestions and information received from program participants, supervising judges and arbitration administrators.
