TROs and Preliminary Injunctions 2026

Webinar Overview

Sometimes, at the beginning of a case, you need the court to take immediate action to protect your client’s interests or to maintain the status quo while the litigation progresses. This webinar discusses procedures and strategies for obtaining temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions. 

The topics discussed include the procedural and substantive requirements for obtaining TROs and preliminary injunctions, some best practices for succeeding on motions seeking TROs and preliminary injunctions, and how to challenge and defeat those motions. 

Learning Objectives:

• Differentiate between Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs) and Preliminary Injunctions, including their purposes, timing, and practical effects on litigation.
• Identify the procedural requirements for seeking TROs and preliminary injunctions, including notice, evidentiary submissions, and hearing considerations.
• Apply the substantive legal standards courts use when deciding TRO and preliminary injunction motions (e.g., likelihood of success, irreparable harm, balance of equities, and public interest).
• Develop effective strategies for preparing and presenting motions for TROs and preliminary injunctions, including drafting, supporting declarations, and persuasive argument structure.
• Recognize best practices for opposing and defeating TRO/preliminary injunction requests, including procedural challenges and substantive defenses.
• Evaluate risk and litigation strategy implications of early injunctive relief requests, including maintaining the status quo, client objectives, and potential consequences of denial or grant.
