A judgment is often thought of as the conclusion of a civil lawsuit, but sometimes it is only the beginning of a long process of enforcement.

Class covers:

• Typical steps to enforcing a judgment (getting paid)
• Characteristics of different enforcement tools, including liens, levies and more
• When different methods of enforcement may be appropriate
• Exemptions and other legal protections for judgment debtors
