About the Program

This CLE program explores procedural tools that are powerful yet often underutilized in everyday legal practice. Uncommon Procedures is designed to give attorneys a practical, working understanding of bills of discovery, subpoenas, pre-judgment remedies, and offers of compromise. Through clear explanations and real-world context, the seminar demystifies these procedures and highlights when and how they can be used strategically and ethically in your practice. Whether you encounter these tools infrequently or have avoided them due to uncertainty, this program provides a practical roadmap for confident use.

You Will Learn

• A clear understanding of the purpose, requirements, and strategic considerations for each procedure
• When and how to use a bill of discovery to obtain critical information before litigation
• Best practices for drafting, issuing, and enforcing subpoenas
• The requirements, timing, and tactical advantages of seeking a pre-judgment remedy
• How offers of compromise operate, including their impact on litigation strategy and risk assessment.

Who Should Attend

This program is ideal for litigators, transactional attorneys who may face litigation issues, and newer attorneys seeking to expand their procedural toolkit. It is also well-suited for experienced practitioners who want a refresher or deeper insight into less frequently used procedures that can provide a meaningful advantage when used effectively.
