To the rescue is the Judgment Enforcement database (JDENF), provided by Aspen Publishers, Inc., and released recently on Westlaw. JDENF contains the Hon. James J. Brown's exhaustive treatise, Judgment Enforcement, Second Edition, which covers federal and state judgment enforcement from client intake through execution, including such areas as discovery, receivership, the freezing of assets, statutory exemptions, fair debt collection, and subsequent litigation to enforce judgments. This publication contains more than 2,000 pages of material and is crammed with federal and state annotations linked to full–text sources, as well as forms and checklists from many jurisdictions. Special chapters are devoted to the strategies and practice materials of California, North Carolina, Texas, and Ontario.

An easy way to view the contents of JDENF and retrieve relevant sections is to use the Table of Contents service. ResultsPlus® is available for this database.
