Ill. R. Cir. Ct. Dupage Cnty. 15.22.01
As amended through September 23, 2024
Actions Subject to Arbitration. All actions brought pursuant to 750 ILCS 5/508(c) shall be submitted to mandatory arbitration in accordance with these Rules only if neither the client nor the counsel affirmatively opts out of such procedures in the initial pleading requesting an award. An attorney may not enter into an agreement which purports to restrict the right of a client or the client's assignee to commence fee arbitration or which purports to relieve the attorney of the obligation to submit to arbitration under these Rules. Any such agreement is void as against public policy.
