The vast majority of civil cases (many estimates say around 97 percent) will never go to trial but will be resolved in some other manner, usually by a settlement agreement.
The foregoing answer is correct. Many or most jurisdictions require that the parties attend mediation prior to trial. This is a process by which an independent third part, who may be an attorney or a retired judge intervenes to try to facilitate a settlement. Typically, the mediator points out the strengths and weaknesses of the parties respective cases (while meeting them alone) and tries to get them to understand that going to trial is a "roll of the dice". In contrast, if the case is resolved in mediation, the parties have far more control of the outcome.

What percentage of criminal cases go to trial?
The answer to that depends on the type of crime, the state you are in, and the defendants ability to cooperate. That being said, the number of criminal cases that actually go to trial is quite low. This is because many cases are settled with plea bargains before ever making it to trail. A trial is a very costly and long undertaking so it is much easier to avoid it when possible.

When will the criminal case not go to trial?
A criminal case will not go to trial if the defendant pleads guilty at a preliminary hearing or if the prosecution decides to discontinue the case (usually because they think the evidence is not strong enough for a reasonable chance of conviction).
Can I find the date of a trial?
Yes. The court sends out an order setting the case for trial on a "docket". A docket is a list of cases that are scheduled for trial during a given period of time, often one or two weeks. More cases than can reasonably be heard are often set on the docket, because the court knows that a portion of them will settle, and trials will not be needed. However, if more of them that expected do go to trial, those that do not will be carried over to the next trial docket. In some cases, a matter is set for trial on a date certain, rather than on a docket. In either event, the court file will reflect an order specifying the trial date, or the date that the trial docket commences. Because the order is a part of the court file, it is typically a public record. As such, the court file can be viewed either in person, or in some jurisdictions, on line.
