About This Course

Prosecuting civil actions in Federal Court in situations where defendants engaged in criminal or even quasi-criminal behavior can be aided through Civil RICO complaints. Yet many federal judges are wary of Civil RICO cases and respond by creating OSC hearings or check lists to make sure that RICO claims are both legitimate and that they are pled properly.

This CLE course will explain how to establish a ROCI complaint that holds up under Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The course will examine the various parts of the statute as well as sample pleadings to help you present powerful allegations that will withstand motions to dismiss.
