The order may specify the mediator's qualifications, fees, and other relevant information. The Order will be issued after both parties have agreed to mediate and the Court has determined that mediation is appropriate. There are three types of Illinois Order for Appointment of Mediator: 1.

Mandatory Mediation Order: This is issued when the Court orders the parties to mediate, regardless of their agreement. 3. Third-Party Appointment Order: This is issued when the Court appoints a mediator to assist the parties in resolving the dispute.
