Ill. R. Cir. Ct. Dupage Cnty. 14.05
Pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 218, all mediation eligible cases shall be set for a case management conference within one hundred eighty-two (182) days of filing. Following the Rule 218 conference, cases may be assigned to court-ordered mediation. The entry of an Order of Referral to court-ordered mediation assigns the case to court-ordered mediation and transfers the case to the Supervising Judge of court-ordered mediation instanter. It also requires the parties to appear within fourteen (14) to twenty-one (21) days before the Supervising Judge for court-ordered mediation. In the discretion of the trial judge on the Court's own motion or in response to a motion brought by any party, a case may be assigned to mediation before or after the Rule 218 Conference.
