The November 19, 2010 session of FDN’s live foreclosure defense seminar series brought attorneys to Newport Beach from New Jersey, Illinois, and greater Los Angeles. Participants were provided with a detailed notebook and a full day of instruction in beginning foreclosure defense. The following topics were covered for both judicial and non-judicial foreclosure proceedings:

                    (a)  Identifying Preliminary Defenses

                    (b)  MERS and MERS Assignments

                    (c)  Credit Enhancements and Insurances (Securitized Mortgage Loan Trusts)

                    (d)  Discovery

                    (e)  Injunctive and Declaratory Relief and other remedies

                    (f)  Filing and Defending Dispositive Motions

                    (g)  Forebearance Agreements and Loan Modifications

The notebooks contain exemplar pleadings and responses to Motions to Dismiss and for Summary Judgment; discovery templates; actual disclosures from securitized trust documents; and case law.

Participants also enjoyed the sumptuous, day-long hot and cold buffet which included desserts, fresh fruit, and beverages.

The next seminar is scheduled for Friday, December 17, 2010 in Newport Beach, California and is also for attorneys and paralegals associated with law Firms. We are already receiving requests for registration for this session. The January seminar is scheduled for Friday, January 7, 2010. Future seminars are being scheduled for February and March, 2010 as well.
