HUD'S
RESPA Regulations:
The Proposals, The Comments, The Future
By: Sheldon Hochberg
HUD has issued proposed
new regulation which, potentially, will dramatically
restructure RESPA practices and consumer protections.
Sheldon Hochberg has provided us with an excellent
synopsis of the regulations and the diversity
of the comments filed with HUD. This issue is
critical to the consumer real estate practice,
and this article is a "must read" for
anyone who wants to get a handle on current events
regarding RESPA. This article is also an excellent
prelude to the program on RESPA regulations scheduled
for the Section's upcoming Spring Symposium. |

By:Debra Pogrund Stark
Professor, The John Marshall
Law School
The B-4 Pro-Bono Committee's
Habitat for Humanity project has added new avenues
of opportunity for public service. Debra Stark
has created a Habitat for Humanity chapter at
John Marshall Law School in Chicago, creating
new ways for law students and lawyers to work
on and add value to HFH projects in their communities.
Please read her article and think about starting
a chapter in your law school community.
The
Pro Bono Committee is seeking additional members
to work on new projects
As a result of the committee
reorganization last year, the new Pro Bono Committee
is actively seeking new members who are interested
in helping out with the many "pro bono"
program possibilities being discussed for Section
involvement. Take this opportunity to see what
this new committee is gearing
up to accomplish and join in if you can.
