Principles and Practices of Collaborative Law
Gearge M. Dallas
Daniel J. Finn
Rita S. Pollak
Doris F. Tennant
"In Collaborative Law, the parties and their counsel agree at the beginning of the dispute resolution process to employ cooperation in place of adversarial techniques and litigation. The parties may reserve their rights to litigate, but the lawyers must withdraw if the parties go to court. From that foundational component, Collaborative Law has grown. With a 10-year history in family law, Collaborative Law is now practiced around the country and is branching into business and other dispute resolution."
