"Magistrate Judges’ Important Role in Settling Cases"
https://www.jamsadr.com/files/uploads/documents/articles/denlow-magistrate-judges-fedlawyer-2014-may-jun.pdf

I spent 16 and a half years as a federal Magistrate Judge in Chicago before leaving the bench in October 2012. During that time, one of the principal duties of the Magistrate Judges in our court was to conduct settlement conferences. Each judge would conduct more than 100 settlement conferences a year and would settle the large majority of those cases. Our role in settling cases was highly valued by the District Judges, by the attorneys who regularly appeared before us, and by the clients whose cases were resolved.
