Illinois Circuit Court
The single trial court of general jurisdiction, organized into judicial circuits by county (e.g., 'Circuit Court of Cook County'). Many circuits run a mandatory court-annexed arbitration program for lower-value civil claims; private employment arbitration proceeds outside the courts under the parties' agreement, with the court's role limited to compelling arbitration and confirming/vacating awards.
Illinois Appellate Court
Intermediate appellate court, organized into five districts.
Supreme Court of Illinois
The court of last resort.
The m11 shape is a PRIVATE employment arbitration (not a court trial): the parties' agreement and the arbitral forum's rules govern procedure, and the Federal Arbitration Act and the Illinois Uniform Arbitration Act frame enforceability, compelling arbitration, and confirming or vacating an award. Students research the governing arbitration framework and the substantive employment law themselves.
