Topic: Personal Bankruptcy Chapter 7
On February 9, 2012, the Federal Government and 49 States reached a settlement agreement with the nation's five largest mortgage servicers. The settlement adresses mortgage servicing, foreclosure, and bankruptcy abuse. The settlement covers home mortgages serviced by Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc., Ally Financial Inc./GMAC, and Wells Fargo & Company. If you have a mortgage serviced by any of these banks, or if you lost your home to foreclosure between January 2008 and December 2011, either you or your attorney should contact your bank to see if you are eligible for relief.

Topic: Harold Cassidy's Published Articles
Harold Cassidy, considered one of the leading legal experts on surrogacy law in the United States, and lead counsel for the surrogate mother in the 'Baby M' case, gave his commentary on The Matter of the Parentage of a Child by T.J.S. and A.L.S., in an article which appeared in the March 12, 2012 edition of The New Jersey Law Journal. Oral argument in this matter was heard by the New Jersey Supreme Court on March 1, 2012. In his published commentary, Mr. Cassidy exposed the blaring weakness of the case; the class of women with the greatests rights and fundamental interests at risk, the Birth Mothers, had no legal representation.
