No mediator from another state has told us they work online with Illinois clients in this practice area yet. Local mediators may also offer video sessions; ask when you contact them.

Court-ordered case? Courts may require a mediator from their own approved list for court-ordered cases. Check your court’s rules, or see how mediation works in Illinois.

Court-connected mediation in Illinois: Illinois court mediation lists are kept circuit by circuit; courts appoint from those lists when parties cannot agree, and Cook County rules let parties agree on a mediator not on the court list.

Private mediation in Illinois: No statewide license for private mediators was found in the sources reviewed; circuit 'certified' lists apply to court programs. No rule specific to out-of-state or online mediators was found.
