Generally, the alternate dispute resolution models, including the collaborative process, if successful, result in a faster resolution than those achieved through the litigation process.  However, the duration of the litigation process is greatly affected by the nature and number of issues presented to the Court by any particular litigant.  Correspondingly, the duration of the alternative resolution process can be greatly affected by the nature of the issues to be resolved, the complexity of the issues to be resolved, and the position and behaviors of the participants.
