True or False: Cases can settle without making it to court.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only in certain situations

  4. Not applicable

The correct answer is: True

The statement is true because cases can indeed settle without ever making it to court. Many legal disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration before reaching a trial. Settlements can occur at any point during the legal process, often as a result of discussions between the parties involved, where they agree on terms that are acceptable to both sides. This can save time, reduce expenses, and avoid the uncertainty of a trial outcome. In many instances, parties may prefer to settle rather than go through the lengthy and often complicated court processes, and they may come to an agreement even before any formal legal proceedings are initiated. Therefore, it is accurate to state that cases can settle outside of court.
