Illinois Order Following Trial Conference (Family) is a court-ordered meeting between the attorneys and court professionals involved in a family law case. The purpose of the conference is to discuss any remaining issues that need to be addressed before a final ruling is made. The conference is typically held after a trial or hearing, and all parties must attend. During the conference, the parties can present evidence and arguments in support of their position. The conference can be held in one of three different ways: (1) a joint conference, (2) a conference with the court present, or (3) a conference with a court-appointed referee present. In a joint conference, the attorneys and other court professionals meet to discuss the case without the presence of a judge. In a conference with the court present, a judge is present to listen to the parties and make a ruling. In a conference with a court-appointed referee present, a referee is present to review the evidence and make a recommendation to the judge. The conference is intended to resolve any remaining issues in the case before a final ruling is made. It is an important step in the family law process and can help the parties reach an agreement without the need for a trial or hearing.
