The Fiscal Year 2004 Annual Evaluation Report of the court-annexed mandatory arbitration program is presented in compliance with Section 2-1008A of the Mandatory Arbitration System Act, 735 ILCS 5/2-1001A et seq.The Supreme Court of Illinois and the Illinois General Assembly created court-annexed mandatory arbitration to reduce the backlog of civil cases and to provide litigants with a forum, other than the trial courts, in which their complaints could be more expeditiously resolved by an impartial fact finder. 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.
