Luke 12:57-59: it says if you are going to court, try to settle with the other party before going before the judge. This presupposes that there is some truth on both sides and a deal can be reached. But if you are being unfairly sued and you think the judge is honest, maybe go before the judge. But here's a case where Jesus didn't practice his own advice. He was accused by the Jewish authorities of causing a ruckus in Judea and Galilee. Instead of trying to explain himself and work something out, he went before the corrupt Pilate. They say practice what you preach, but in this case it didn't happen.
