Rutter Writ Programs in September

Writ Deadlines

Writ petitions are "extraordinary" proceedings and courts rarely grant relief. But in many situations litigators face, a writ sometimes is the best or only available remedy. Do-or-die deadlines can arrive quickly. This expert panel will teach you what situations to watch for and when you must file or lose any opportunity for appellate court review.

Highlights

 • Statutory and common law deadlines to challenge specific adverse orders
 
 • Which statutory writ petitions are your sole remedy with no right to complain on a later appeal?

Best Practices for Writ Petitions

All the essentials you should know about writ petitions but were afraid to ask! Our panel of experts offer strategies and tips to optimize your client's chance of success on a writ petition - including best practices, controlling rules, and possible outcomes. You will get practical and invaluable advice from both sides of the bench.

Highlights

 • What a writ petition is, exactly

 • How to draft a compliant, effective, and attention-grabbing petition
 
 • What to do when you need a stay
 
 • How to compile the record (exhibits)
 
 • What rulings the court can make: alternative writs, peremptory writs, writs of supersedeas, Palma notice and Brown Winfield procedures
 
 • Advising your client about options and costs
