Usually because many civil cases, ordnance violations, traffic infractions, and misdemeanors, do not qualify for jury trial, and/or the defendant pleads guilty, or their defense attornies request a non-jury hearing/trial by the judge alone.
Additionally, taking a case to a trial is often very expensive and time consuming. With the advice of experienced counsel, most people have a good idea of how their case is likely to turn out after a trial. With that information, most litigants or criminal defendants are willing to accept an offer that is similar to what they would expect after trial.

What occurred at the Nuremberg Trials?
At the trials they followed the format of telling the defendants what they were charged with, then the defendants had to declare whether or not they were guilty or innocent. The Military Attorney who was the prosecutor presented his cases and evidence of proof against the defendants. Witnesses were called and both attorney for the defense and the prosecution to question. After the prosecutions case was presented (which took months considering they tried many all at once) the defense attorneys presented their defense cases and the witnesses were called again. Once that was done, the trial was recessed, The judges (not a jury) took all the information and decided who was guilty or innocent. They decided on the sentencing. When all that was done the Judges recalled the court to session and they read each defendants acquittal or conviction status on each charge, then their sentences if convicted. The convicted defendants were then taken to have their sentence carried out. The acquitted were released. The Judges came from many nations and different courts.

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.
