POSTED MAY 13, 2026

Mike Funk of American Legal Records joins USLAW Live! to share the evolving world of record retrieval and how timing can shape legal strategy, case development and outcomes.

The conversation delves into pre-discovery, pre-litigation searches, litigated matters, archived files, and the wavering power of the subpoena in today’s legal environment. And because no conversation with Mike Funk is complete without a little golf, the episode also features favorite courses and a memorable PGA Championship story.
