The Supreme Court is authorized to set rules determining the "practice, procedure and administration" of alternative dispute resolution programs in the appellate courts. The statute also makes inapplicable the Uniform Mediation Act and the Uniform Arbitration Act to any ADR program in the reviewing courts, except as provided by Supreme Court Rule. When this statute was first passed in 2004, it established the Reviewing Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Fund. The fund was eliminated in 2010 and the remaining balance was transferred to the state's Mandatory Arbitration Fund.
