My favorite answer: it depends.
What state do you live in?
Some states have laws that require suits to be completed within a certain time frame (five years). Usually, this is not what drives how long a case lasts. Instead, lawsuits take time because of the amount of time that is required to be given for notices and for discovery. Also, settlement discussions can significantly cut short how long a lawsuit lasts, if successful.
Unsatisfied judgments remain on the judgment debtor's CR for seven (7) years. A judgment can be valid for 5-20 years depending upon the laws of the state where the judgment was granted. Most judgments are renewable and can remain valid for a very long time, this is only one reason why a judgment can be extremely damaging to a consumers financial status.
Depends on the kind of lawsuit and whether or not appeals are involved. Some can last a decade or more from filing to final appeal. And then, if the appeal court "remands" that means it is sent back down for potentially rehearing, which means a new trial and things can start up all over again.

This depends on the complexity of the case.
The time involved in a lawsuit varies greatly depending on the case. Some lawsuits may take only a short amount of time while other may go on for years.
