Don't Litigate - Mediate Your Dispute! - Popular culture tends to depict legal proceedings by virtue of television and movie dramatizations of highly charged courtroom battles, filled with emotion and justice and, of course, victory to the party who is victimized and harmed in some (usually dramatic) way.
These big screen depictions can appeal to our deepest desires to receive our own vindication in the same fashion for real harm and injury someone may have caused to us. Yet, the truth is, the vast majority of cases never get to the Courtroom, because they settle at some point before a trial. According to a recent American Bar Association article, 97% of all civil cases end before trial, most of these through settlement.*
