    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.
