-In Supreme Court or Small Claims Court, you will receive a '''Notice of Settlement Conference'''. A settlement conference is an opportunity for you and the claimant to meet with a judge to see if you can agree to resolve the claim. The judge at a settlement conference is only there to help you see if the parties can agree on a settlement. He or she cannot impose an agreement.
