LACBA’s Remedies Section is dedicated to the attorneys who ensure that a client’s courtroom victory translates into real-world results. Securing and collecting judgments are two of the most critical aspects of civil litigation, and the Remedies Section provides the education, resources, and community practitioners need to succeed.
We focus on the practical tools of litigation—writs of attachment, writs of possession, receiverships, injunctions, foreclosures, UCC liens, and post-judgment collections. The Remedies Section helps attorneys master the laws, rules, and strategies that turn a favorable judgment into meaningful relief for their clients.
