Case Management Order - Arbitration {171-486}

171-486 - CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER - ARBITRATION. This form from the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit in Lake County, Illinois, is used to formally schedule and manage the timeline and procedural steps of a civil case that is proceeding through arbitration. This order assigns the case to either Track 1 or Track 2, indicating the court's scheduling track, and sets the date, time, and format of the arbitration hearing—either in-person, hybrid, or fully remote via Zoom. It specifies whether an interpreter is needed and schedules a post-arbitration status or judgment of award hearing. The form outlines critical filing and disclosure deadlines, including those for counterclaims, Supreme Court Rule 222 disclosures, discovery completion, summary judgment motions, and the serving of Rule 90(c) arbitration packets. It also directs how attorneys or self-represented litigants must prepare and deliver case documents to the arbitrators, whether through physical copies at the Alternative Dispute Resolution Center for in-person/hybrid hearings or by uploading to a designated Dropbox link for Zoom hearings. The order ensures all parties are aware of their obligations and promotes orderly and timely arbitration proceedings, with a copy required to be distributed to each party within seven days of issuance. www.FormsWorkflow.com
