    Sec. 2-1001A. Authorization. The Supreme Court of 
Illinois, by rule,
may provide for mandatory arbitration of 
such civil actions as the Court
deems appropriate in order to 
expedite in a less costly manner any
litigation wherein a 
party asserts a claim not exceeding $75,000 $50,000 or any

lesser amount as authorized by the Supreme Court for a 
particular Circuit,
or a judge of the
circuit court, at a 
pretrial conference, determines that no greater amount than

that authorized for the Circuit appears to be genuinely in 
controversy.
