Probate, estates & elder care mediators in Jersey County, IL

How does mediation work in Jersey County?

Jersey County is part of Illinois's Seventh Judicial Circuit, within the Fourth Appellate District [1][2]. Its court sits at the Jersey County Courthouse, 201 West Pearl Street in Jerseyville, where a self-help center occupies the room next to the Circuit Clerk's Office and a waiting room is across the hall from the courtroom [1]. The Seventh Circuit's rules page lists Circuit Administrative Order 2024-27, Court Approved Mediators, which carries no expiration date, and posts the circuit's approved mediator list beside its guardian ad litem lists [3]. Two of our three Jersey mediators come from that Seventh Circuit list [4]; the third is on the Southern District of Illinois federal court's mediator panel [5].
