Arbitration expansion aims to ease crowded Illinois courts
The plan to broaden mandatory arbitration beyond Illinois counties like Cook and Will diverts minor lawsuits from courts. In DuPage, cases up to 50,000 dollars use a three-attorney panel with two-hour hearings and relaxed evidence rules. Fees of 200 to 300 dollars apply for cases appealed to a judge, while arbiters are paid at least 100 dollars per day.
