Illinois Arbitration Case Summons (prose) is a legal document issued by an Illinois court or a private arbitration service to start an arbitration proceeding. It is typically used in cases where a party wishes to pursue an alternative dispute resolution option to traditional litigation. The summons will state the reason for the arbitration, the names of the parties involved, and the date and location of the arbitration hearing. The summons will provide information on how to respond to the summons and may include a deadline for filing a response. There are two types of Illinois Arbitration Case Summons (prose): one for a claimant (the person initiating the arbitration), and one for a respondent (the person responding to the arbitration). The claimant’s summons will include a statement of claim and a list of documents or other information required for the arbitration. The respondent’s summons will include a response form and information about the arbitration.
