On May 18-19, the Center for Consumer Law at the University of Houston Law Center will hold its sixth bi-annual Teaching Consumer Law Conference. This year’s theme is “Teaching Consumer Law in an Evolving Economy.” I have always enjoyed this conference as it is the only one in the country devoted exclusively to teaching consumer law. It is designed for those currently teaching consumer law, those interested in teaching, as well as those who just wants to know more about consumer law issues.
Good lawyers will not recommend filing bankruptcy if the benefit is not clear. If you are giving up your house with only one mortgage and no other significant debt, many of us will typically advise against it. But in Missouri that could change if the banks start getting too greedy.
