A settlement conference is a meeting between opposing sides of a lawsuit at which the parties attempt to reach a resolution of their dispute without having to proceed to a trial. Such a conference may be initiated through either party, usually by the conveyance of a settlement offer; or it may be ordered by the court as a precedent to holding a trial. Matters discussed in a settlement conference will be confidential, and cannot be introduced as evidence in court.
