Episode 7 - You Won the Case. Now Where’s the Money?
Winning a judgment and collecting on it are two very different things. After all, you don’t walk out of court with a judgment and take it to an ATM.Law school teaches future lawyers how to build a case, prove liability, and obtain a judgment. What receives far less attention is what happens the day after the victory: how do you actually turn that judgment into money - for your client and, ultimately, for your firm?In this episode, Ed and Drew explore the world that begins after judgment, from locating assets and using post-judgment discovery tools to pursuing assets that have been transferred, concealed, or moved across borders. They also examine what happens when third parties interfere with collection, including the recognition of a claim for tortious interference with enforcement of a judgment and related remedies found in New York law and in English common-law jurisdictions.Because sometimes winning the case is not the end of the fight. It is only the of the beginning.
