L.A. Bar To Train Volunteers For Foreclosure Defense Effort

In Los Angeles, California, Metropolitan News Enterprise reports:

• The Los Angeles County Bar Association Barristers are seeking volunteers to counsel homeowners facing foreclosure at one-day clinics to be held May 2. The organization said yesterday it has partnered with the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, Neighborhood Legal Services, Public Counsel and Bet Tzedek to provide the clinic, at which attorney volunteers “will assist homeowners in evaluating their loan documents to see if they qualify for the newly available loan modifications or if other forms of relief are available.”

• No experience is necessary, the group said, because all volunteers will be trained at one of three sessions that have been scheduled beginning Monday.
