How does mediation work in Madison County?

Madison County is in the Third Judicial Circuit, and its courthouse is at 155 N. Main Street in Edwardsville [1][2]. The Madison/Bond County Residential Mortgage Foreclosure Mediation Program is free for borrowers whose primary residence is being foreclosed; homeowners receive a notice of mandatory mediation and must attend an Initial Intake Conference [3]. Civil cases seeking only money damages over $10,000 and under $50,000 go to court-annexed arbitration before a panel of three attorney arbitrators [4]. Most mediators listed below come from the Southern District of Illinois federal panel and the neighboring Fourth Judicial Circuit's child-related and civil lists [5][6][7].
