Of course I read that! LOL, apparently you've never filed a lawsuit.
90% or better of all civil cases are settled before discovery. That's the whole purpose of the settlement conferences... to settle cases outside court. Judges strongly encourage this!
At a settlement conference the Judge reads all the complaints from both sides and gives an indication of how he will rule. This usually gives one or both parties motivation to settle sooner than later.
