Obtaining a judgment against a debtor is only the first and, arguably, easiest step in the collection process.  Much more difficult is the enforcement of that judgment. This paper looks at enforcement methods, including reciprocal enforcement, preparing a writ of enforcement and registering judgment, post-judgment searches, seizure exemptions, questioning in aid of enforcement, obtaining a financial report, garnishment and issues in bankruptcy.

This is one of a series of papers delivered at LESA’s Collections for Legal Support Staff program in November, 2014.
