Along with tips for demystifying practice in the Chancery Division, attendees had the opportunity to hear each judge discuss their particular general equity and probate practices and procedures, including Orders to Show Cause and emergent applications such as TROs and varying Preliminary Injunctions. Among other topics discussed were actions that are, and are not, cognizable in Chancery; the proper way to present a TRO application by way of Order to Show Cause; being ready for trial; and getting your motion or trial heard on the busy Chancery docket.
