Hon. Helaine L. Berger, (Ret.), senior mediator and arbitrator at ADR Systems, was appointed to the Illinois Judges Foundation (IJF) Board of Directors.

As part of her appointment, Judge Berger will also be chairing the bylaws committee and the executive committee of IJF.

“I am excited to serve with an esteemed group of judges; I am particularly thrilled to serve on the scholarship committee and help select deserving law students,” Judge Berger said.

As the philanthropic arm of the Illinois Judges Association, IJF funds educational, civic and scholarship projects to advance the legal profession and community. To encourage judicial participation in the legal community, IJF is composed of both current sitting judges and retired judges from the state court level in Illinois.

Before coming to ADR Systems, Judge Berger served for 19 years as a judge in the Cook County Circuit Court’s Domestic Relations Division and the Child Protection and Juvenile Justice Department. Judge Berger’s high settlement rate is a testament to her innate ability to quickly relate to people, even in the most difficult and emotionally charged situations. This skill makes her an effective mediator. She is patient, kind and genuinely cares about the best interest of all parties — especially the children. She is committed to financial fairness and applies ingenuity and her years of experience to guide the parties to resolution.

ADR Systems, It’s Settled.®

Judge Burke is an excellent mediator.  He has one of the best demeanors of any judge I have appeared before in court.  He is also one of the most knowledgeable mediators as well.  His background provides him with an innate ability to spot the issues early on.  He works hard to get it done.  I would not hesitate for a second to use him again.
