Yes, the courts are where lawsuits are usually handled.

Not every lawsuit goes to court, or results in a decision. I'm sure you know that.

You should ask Claude what a lawsuit is. Or perhaps you mean “trial” and not “court”?

Not every lawsuit that is heard by a court goes to trial.

		Right. This was strongly implied by my comment.

I feel like I'm talking to Claude right now. Am I?

This is the new “I can’t defend my statement online” retort, huh?

“Well I might be wrong but at least I’m not AI like YOU!”

Ever heard the phrase "settled out of court"? A lot of lawsuits are settled even before a court clerk processes the paperwork.

		Settled out of court does not mean the lawsuit never went to court. It means the settlement happened outside of court. Every lawsuit has to go to court, that's how you file a lawsuit. If it isn't sent to a court it's just words in a document.

		A lawsuit with no paperwork filed is not a lawsuit. That’s just an agreement. Again, you seem to be conflating lawsuit with trial.
