Handling a Foreclosure Case
Thursday, May 17 and Friday, May 18, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
15.5 general CLE credits
Oregon State Bar Center, Tigard
The numbers of homeowners facing or who are in foreclosure are staggering. As the mortgage crisis peaks and blooms, misinformation fuels pro se suits, which in turn burden the courts and lead to layperson legal bungles. Consumers who are losing their homes could greatly benefit from legal advice, and attorneys new to the profession or who are growing their practice need legal experience. For an unprecedented registration rate of $20 (early registration), this two-day, information-rich seminar will provide strategies from experienced homeowners’ and lenders’ counsel and insight from judges, housing counselors and the Oregon Dept. of Justice. Topics include case assessment, practical considerations, mediation, civil procedure and case/client management basics. With lunch provided both days and a networking social at the conclusion of the first day, there will be plenty of time to learn from the experts and meet others who share an interest in foreclosure cases. Cosponsored by the Oregon Department of Justice, the Federal Bar Association and the OSB New Lawyers Division and OSB CLE Seminars.
