Real Estate Strategy Guide
Practical guidance for using judge intelligence in real estate practice.
In partition actions, understand your judge's approach to referee selection — some judges allow party input, others appoint from a court roster without consultation.
UD strategy depends entirely on speed. In departments where trial is set within 20 days, possession often matters more than damages strategy. Know your timeline before advising your client.
Specific performance claims require showing the inadequacy of money damages for real property. Some judges are skeptical of this standard; others treat unique real property as presumptively irreplaceable.
Easement disputes hinge on prescriptive vs. express easement analysis. Review whether your judge's prior rulings reflect a liberal or conservative approach to prescriptive use periods.
