“We should get away from the idea that a court is the only place in which to settle disputes. People with claims are likely people with pains. They want relief and results and they don’t care whether it’s in a courtroom with a lawyer and judges or somewhere else.”

Warren E. Burger Address, American Bar Association, New Orleans, reported in the Los Angeles Times August 27, 1978
