Judge Scheindlin at #BigLawSummit: maybe our robust approach to discovery is good bc so many cases settle (trial is expensive timesuck).
@KennyBrendan Yes; she claimed, e.g., that depos let us know how the witness would be at trial, so let's just calculate the value & settle.

@DavidLat So she isn't saying that robust discovery is a good thing because it drives up the costs and makes it too expensive to try cases? -
@KennyBrendan Not sure she's saying that; she seems to like the rule changes re: "proportionality" of requested discovery. -
@DavidLat That's a relief. I feared that she was saying the high cost of discovery was a good thing. Irrational, I know.
