The Illinois Mediation Report is a document created by a mediator to help two parties in dispute reach a settlement. It is typically used in a court of law when two parties cannot come to an agreement on their own. The report is used to collect and analyze facts, legal issues, and potential solutions to the dispute. The mediator typically interviews both parties to gain a better understanding of the dispute and then drafts a report based on their findings. The report is designed to be objective, and includes a summary of the dispute, relevant facts, legal issues, and potential solutions. There are two types of Illinois Mediation Reports: binding and non-binding. In a binding report, the mediator's recommendations are binding on both parties and are legally enforceable. In a non-binding report, the mediator's recommendations are not legally binding and the parties are free to accept or reject the recommendations as they see fit.
