NCLC Practice Tools

by Jon Sheldon

This monthly update lists news re new NCLC practice tools, including a consumer attorney fee survey, free webinars, new case summaries, and other aids: 

A consumer attorney fee survey showing hourly rates and other  firm characteristics is now available on NCLC's website (thanks to Ron Burdge). A must for LSC funded offices now authorized to seek fees!

Free webinars:  

• Consumer  Fraud  Targeting  Seniors  (April 14);  
• Repo Madness  (April 15); and
  
• Credit Reporting and Repair for Domestic Violence Survivors (April 27) .  

Go here for the 2010 schedule and free downloads of past webinars, or contact jhiemenz@nclc.org.

FDCPA case summaries from the last 12 months are now on the companion website to NCLC's Fair Debt Collection treatise.  This password protected site is free to those subscribing to the treatise.

Four manufactured home policy guides are now available on NCLC's website: (1) promoting resident ownership of parks, (2) protecting  fundamental freedoms, (3) advocacy at the local level, and (4) weatherization and replacement of homes.  

Disability discharges for some private student loans are described on NCLC's very helpful website for all things student loans, www.studentloanborrowerassistance.org

 

NCLC's new report, Repo Madness, is now available. An excellent piece not only for law reform, but also to argue for strict construction of breach of the peace.
