Efforts by the Supreme Court in devising a high quality arbitration system spanned nearly a decade. When developing the Illinois program, the Supreme Court and its committees secured the input of public officials representing all branches of Illinois government, as well as the general public. As a result, the program now in place is truly a coalescence of the best dispute resolution concepts. | | | | Date Created: | 2007 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003919 Original UID: 3707 FIRST WORD: Court | |
