Litigation by The Numbers
It’s challenging to provide an exact percentage of court cases that go to litigation in the United States because the legal system involves a broad spectrum of cases across different jurisdictions and areas of law. Many cases are resolved outside of court through alternative dispute resolution methods, such as negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. Moreover, some cases may be dismissed or settled before reaching the litigation stage.
Litigation & Legal Precedent
Legal precedent is a fundamental concept in the common law system, where decisions in past cases shape the interpretation and application of the law in future cases. It provides a foundation for legal reasoning, consistency, and the development of legal principles over time.
