Abstract
Collaborative law is an alternative dispute resolution method that helps families across the world divorce cooperatively and amicably, but it faces critiques for its unique practices, such as automatic, mandatory disqualification of attorneys for failure to reach settlement agreements. To withstand critiques and remain a successful alternative dispute resolution method, collaborative law should be codified. Hence, all states should adopt the Uniform Collaborative Law Act (UCLA). The UCLA demystifies the practice of collaborative law and establishes a reliable framework that sets critiques of collaborative law to rest. This Comment explains the key provisions of the UCLA and discusses how the UCLA protects collaborative law lawyers, benefits parties, and helps courts.
