The Illinois Mediator Report is a document created by a mediator to outline the principles, agreements, and issues discussed between parties in a dispute. It is typically used in family law disputes, such as divorce and child custody cases. The Illinois Mediator Report contains information about the parties, the issues discussed, the mediator's assessment of the parties' positions, and any agreements that were reached. It also includes an evaluation of the mediation process, and a recommendation for how to proceed. There are two types of Illinois Mediator Reports: the Non-Binding Report and the Binding Report. The Non-Binding Report outlines the parties’ positions and agreements, but does not bind either party to any outcome. The Binding Report, however, is a legally binding document that holds both parties to any agreement reached during the mediation process.

In this sense, the parties remain always in control of a mediation.
Unlike in a courtroom trial, the mediator does not hand down a judgment or a verdict that the parties must obey. They cannot force either side to accept any offer or to agree to anything. In this sense, mediation is not legally binding in the same way as a judge's order or a jury's verdict.
