Though, without any nomenclature to describe the term 'Collaborative Law', it is a way to resolve the disputes between parties. A council represents the parties chosen by the parties themselves. The attorneys chosen belong to an identified group or association with a resolution to settle the dispute between clients without resorting to any form of litigation or NY adjuratory procedure. The collaborative law is the rapidly growing field and the alternative method of dispute resolution (ADR). No threat and power is used. While the traditional way of the attorneys was prosecuting and defending. This way is revolutionary in nature as compared to the traditional one. Interested professionals have developed different models and have put variety of characteristics. The most important characteristic is that no dispute is resolved by the use of power or any sort of litigation. Now, this approach has controversial and challenging aspect too. Collaborative attorneys can abandon the collaborative law approach if desired by the any of the parties. And, it is a contractual obligation. Every party should have a good faith in the attorneys or it is deterrent. The process s meaningful and is helping the people in their desire to resolve disputes. Sometimes the attorneys are not skilled enough to take the effort to results. They are less experienced. But , after going through a number of collaborative law cases they make themselves skilled as creative, confident and able ones to successfully resolve clients' problem. Another characteristic of the way is to educate the client to become pro-active in all phases of dispute resolution process. This approach is a guarantee to the clients of having the control over the cost of process, control over the process itself and over the outcome of the dispute. Adjudicatory model doesn’t guarantee all this. Society is dissatisfied and the experience of the traditional legal procedures. The needs of the clients are evolving and attorneys have the challenge to find the ways to provide services to the evolving challenge. The needs and issues of the clients are the focus of the collaborative law approach and it keeps them connected during the process to the process till the outcome of the case as a settlement. Separation is predictable and inevitable outcome of the traditional litigation model. The client has some expectations. He wants to have a fair and just outcome from the procedure. If the client doesn’t get a satisfactory result he will hold the attorney responsible for this. According to attorneys, the collaborative law procedure is fruitful. It clearly defines in the beginning the roles of the client and the counsel. The clients are responsible of being in the dispute it also is their responsibility to accept mutually the outcomes that resolve the dispute. The attorneys are responsible for developing the process that allows the clients to accomplish these objectives in the most effective manner possible. Freed from the outcome of the result, the attorney goes pragmatic, specific and constructive. Face to face meetings during the procedure give the clients opportunities to grow into responsible ones and take the completion of the work undertaken by the attorneys.
