    There’s a reason why so many lawsuits end in a settlement instead of a jury trial. We all want to believe every trial is like 12 Angry Men, but the reality is that a “jury of your peers” is made up of the general public (ever looked around on a public bus?), so at the end of the day jury trial is basically a coin flip.

    Same thing here. If it goes to trial, the outcome is going to basically be random.
