Book excerpt: Housing is the single most important asset for the majority of American households and a pillar of the American economy. The current U.S. home mortgage foreclosure crisis has a staggering impact on homeowners, lenders, families, neighborhoods, municipalities, and states. Foreclosure mediation programs are an effective response by states, cities, and courts to address the impact of the foreclosure crisis. Mandatory foreclosure mediation programs help homeowners keep their homes and aids communities in maintaining property values while saving lenders and investors the expense of executing a foreclosure. By examining the foreclosure crisis in Missouri and Illinois and the various foreclosure mediation programs around the country implemented in response to the crisis, this Article proposes best practices for successful foreclosure mediation programs and advocates for jurisdictions to establish these programs to curtail the devastation caused by the foreclosure crisis.

Book excerpt: Mediation provides an attractive alternative to resolving disputes through court proceedings. Mediation promises just results in the interest of all parties concerned, a reduction of the court caseload, and cost savings for the parties involved as well as for the treasury. The European Directive on Mediation has given mediation in Europe new momentum by establishing a common framework for cross-border mediation. Beyond Europe, many states have tried in recent years to answer the question whether, and if so, how mediation should be regulated at a national and international level. The aim of this book is to promote the understanding and discussion of regulatory issues by presenting comparative research on mediation. It describes and analyses the law and practice of mediation in twenty-two countries. Europe is represented by chapters on mediation in Austria, Bulgaria, England, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal and Spain. The world beyond Europe is analysed in chapters on mediation in Australia, Canada, China, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, Switzerland and the USA. Against this background, further chapters on fundamental issues identify possible regulatory models and discuss central principles of mediation law and practice. In particular, the work considers harmonisation and diversity in the law of mediation as well as the economic and constitutional problems associated with privatising civil justice. To the extent available, empirical research is used as a point of reference in the critical analysis.

Book excerpt: Beginning in 2006, foreclosures of residential home mortgages increased precipitously. Home values dropped, homeowners found themselves underwater, and banks eagerly foreclosed when payments were allegedly late. Homeowners turned to the courts and legal system only to find the system was entirely coopted by lenders and the attorneys who prosecuted foreclosures. In Cook County, homeowners were directed to contact services that ultimately required them to give up important rights, even due process rights like proper service of process afforded every other litigant in every other type of case. Homeowners were diverted into a court-sponsored mediation program that required them to file an answer that admitted away the entire case, unknowingly waiving defenses any competent attorney would have identified. Homeowners seeking help were herded into a training session where the first slide presented asked, "Why am I in foreclosure?" The only answer provided was: "Because you missed a mortgage payment." No discussion was had of false allegations of missed payments or other reasons for foreclosure. In reality, reasons included allegations such as failing to maintain homeowners' insurance and were sometimes false. Homeowners were urged to opt for a "graceful exit" solution--leaving their home earlier than legally required and without an assessment of their legal rights, much less competent representation in litigation. As if official action betraying homeowners were not enough, many of the attorneys holding themselves out as "save your home" lawyers misled consumers. At their worst, attorney-sponsored scams included persuading the homeowner to sign the deed to the home over to the attorney or a crony, requiring the homeowner to pay rent. Attorneys would commonly promise to save the home in exchange for a monthly payment of legal fees, $1,500.00 or more commonly being required. While collecting this money, they would fail to file an appearance, fail to appear in court, and do nothing reasonably calculated to save the home. In fact, the rare times the attorneys did act often resulted in hastening the loss of the home. Homeowners often relied on the attorney without finding out about the fraud for a year or more due to the inherently long foreclosure process. Their first notice nothing was done was often the sheriff's knock on the door to evict them from the home they believed was safe.The scams robbed people of their home equity and $20,000.00 or more in cash that could have enabled them to move to a new home. Homes were lost where they could have been saved with less then ten hours of competent legal work. Homeowners were herded into expensive schemes involving attorneys (or cronies who provided a kickback) taking money for loan modification applications or "forensic loan audits." The loan modification applications could be completed at no cost by highly competent housing counseling agencies certified by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The forensic audits were almost always expensive, useless, and misleading. For example, they would identify legal violation that did not provide the homeowner with a private cause of action or defense to foreclosure. Homeowners would react to this misinformation combined with incompetent legal representation to dig in their heels for a completely illusory legal batttle, ignoring bona fide options to save the home with a competent attorney or HUD-certified housing counseling agency.Adding insult to injury, many "save your home" scammers targeted people based on race, religion, and national origin. This included misleading advertising on radio shows marketed to African-American and religious communities, reaching out through immigrant networks and churches, advertising in Spanish-language publications, and using culturally-loaded iconography.Homeowners paid many times--hostile court systems, lawyers, and scammers all took a cut. They lost homes and incurred debt.
