What We've Learned from the Real Estate Crisis (So Far)

The real estate market continues to crash. But, since few experts think it has yet to hit bottom, there appears to be more bad news in store for both sellers and buyers of real estate. But, while much of the debate over the issue has concerned broad policy, the impact at ground level also has been significant. This program will assess the legal aspects of the real estate crisis, especially the litigation it has spawned and the legal matters lawyers are handling for clients who are buying, selling, or just trying to hang on to property.
