1. Tort vs. Contract: The Distinction and the Overlap (1 Hour) In the heat of litigation, the line between a breach of contract and a tortious act can blur. This course explores the critical distinctions and the strategic "overlap" areas that can make or break a petition in Oklahoma courts.
2. From "Lawyer Stories" to Post-Judgment Collections (2 Hours) Every litigator has a story, but not every litigator knows how to turn a favorable verdict into a money recovery. This session begins with an engaging "lawyer story" that sets the stage for a masterclass in the technical, often frustrating world of post-judgment collections in Oklahoma.
3. Inherent Authority to Settle: Do You Have It? (1 Hour - Ethics) Can you bind your client to a settlement without a signed writing? Based on Mark Houts’ definitive research—originally published as "Questioning Authority: Explorations of an Attorney's Power to Settle in Oklahoma" in the Oklahoma City University Law Review—this course is a must-watch for any attorney who negotiates on behalf of clients. It counts toward your mandatory Oklahoma ethics CLE requirement.
4. A Primer on Indirect Contempt of Court (1 Hour) What happens when a court order is ignored? This course provides a comprehensive look at the procedures and pitfalls of indirect contempt. It is based on Mark Houts’ widely cited article, "Indirect Contempt – A Primer," published in the Oklahoma Bar Journal. You’ll learn the nuances of penal vs. remedial contempt and how to protect your client’s rights (or enforce your own orders).
