 In 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 the parties agree on a settlement. He or she cannot impose an agreement.
-If the settlement conference doesn't resolve the case, you will be given a ''Notice of Trial''. At trial, the claimant will present his or her case, and you will be given a chance to present your case. The trial judge will then decide who wins.
