Overview
Quiet title actions are a commonly utilized form of litigation in the real property law realm.

In this three-hour course, we will discuss the circumstances under which quiet title actions are properly employed, the rules and statutes governing the prosecution of quiet title actions, as well as the pitfalls that practitioners must be aware of in pursuing a quiet title action.
