appreciate for your help !Why a majority of cases, either civil or criminal, never reach the courtroom ?
Civil cases are often settled out of court, because the person/company that is being sued does not want to pay a high amount of court costs and legal fees if they are not sure that they will win the case. Criminal cases sometimes don't reach the courtroom because the defendant and the prosecutor will reach a plea agreement. This will secure a conviction for the prosecutor and the judge is more apt to show leniency toward the defendant. I hope this helps.Why a majority of cases, either civil or criminal, never reach the courtroom ?
Civil cases, usually end up with an out of court settlement





Criminal cases- usually get plea bargained out.





Why, both save money and time. Trials are expensive and time consuming.
