DVD - Using the Rules of Evidence in Foreclosure Cases

While trials may be rare in foreclosure actions in New York State courts, the rules of evidence play an important role in foreclosure cases—they govern the evidence used to support and oppose motions for summary judgment, and they apply in evidentiary hearings resulting from motions for relief for failure to negotiate in good faith at mandatory foreclosure settlement conferences. This session will focus on using the rules of evidence to your clients’ advantage, whether in evidentiary hearings or in summary judgment motion practice, featuring notable Maine litigator Thomas A. Cox, acclaimed for his litigation that revealed servicers’ robo-signing practices, and who has experience trying scores of foreclosure cases.
