Illinois Settlement Conference Memorandum is a document used in the Illinois civil court system to facilitate the resolution of civil disputes. This document is signed by the parties involved in the dispute, and outlines the terms of the settlement agreement. The memorandum may include information such as the parties’ understanding of the facts of the dispute, the legal issues involved, and the proposed settlement terms. It is important to note that the memorandum is not legally binding unless both parties sign and agree to it. There are two types of Illinois Settlement Conference Memorandum: private and court-ordered. A private memorandum is typically drafted and signed by the parties to the dispute, without court involvement. A court-ordered memorandum is drafted and signed by the parties under the direction of the court, and is generally more binding.
