The Illinois Mediator Report is a document issued by a neutral mediator or third-party mediator to help parties involved in a dispute resolve their differences. It is a written report prepared after a dispute resolution process that outlines the mediator's evaluation of the parties' positions, the pros and cons of each side, and the mediator's recommendations for resolution. The report may also include an analysis of the potential outcomes of the dispute and the mediator's assessment of the parties' interests. There are two types of Illinois Mediator Reports: the Joint Report and the Separate Report. The Joint Report is a joint document prepared by the mediator and both parties, and outlines the mediator's evaluation of the parties' positions, the pros and cons of each side, and the mediator's recommendations for resolution. The Separate Report is a confidential document prepared by the mediator and sent to each party individually. It contains the same information as the Joint Report, but it is not shared with the other party.
