Check out the post in Riding the Third Wave regarding the virtues of settlement. Every lawyer knows that we ought to settle more cases.  Its just the case we are preparing for trial at the moment that shouldn’t be settled.

Part of the problem is the need for urgency. Even if you get the spirit, the other side is unlikely to entertain a reasonable offer until time is up.  After all, who knows what may turn up?  Exactly!
