How does mediation work in Champaign County?
Champaign County is in the Sixth Judicial Circuit, and its courthouse is at 101 E. Main St. in Urbana [1][2]. According to the circuit court's page, the county's residential foreclosure mediation program is administered by Dispute Resolution Institute, Inc., a nonprofit, with initial intake conferences in the first-floor Self-Help Center on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month [3]. The legal self-help center sits off the courthouse's main lobby [2]. Mediators below come from the Fifth and Fourth Judicial Circuits' approved lists, which include mediators with Champaign offices, and from the Southern District of Illinois panel [4][5][6].
