Illinois Summons (arbitration) is a legal process by which parties involved in a dispute can resolve their differences outside the court system. It is an alternative to litigation that allows parties to present their arguments to an impartial third-party arbitrator who will make a binding decision. There are several types of Illinois Summons (arbitration) available, including binding arbitration, non-binding arbitration, and mediation. Binding arbitration is a formal process in which both parties agree that the arbitrator’s decision is final and binding. Non-binding arbitration does not require both parties to accept the decision of the arbitrator, but serves as an opportunity to negotiate a settlement. Mediation is an informal process in which the parties work together, with the help of a neutral third-party mediator, to reach an agreed-upon resolution. All forms of Illinois Summons (arbitration) are confidential and provide a way for parties to resolve their disputes without costly and time-consuming litigation.
