Illinois Settlement Conference Memorandum (ISCM) is a legal document used in the court system in Illinois to record the decisions made during a settlement conference. It is a summary of the discussions, issues, and agreements of the parties involved in the dispute. Isms are typically used in civil cases to help resolve disputes without the need for a trial. The memorandum includes the names of the parties, the issues discussed, the proposed settlement terms, and a statement of the parties' agreement to the settlement terms. There are two types of Isms: voluntary and court-ordered. A voluntary ISCM is an agreement reached between the parties, and a court-ordered ISCM is an agreement approved by the court. Both types of Isms are binding on the parties and enforceable in court.
