UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

Lenders view real estate foreclosures as too expensive and time consuming a process which needlessly increases the costs of making loans. Others complain that the foreclosure process fails to adequately protect the borrower's equity (the value of the property in excess of the debt secured by the property) in the mortgaged property. This article tests these views by gathering new data on the fairness and efficiency of the foreclosure process. Based on the data collected (which confirms some assumptions but disproves others), the author proposes a reform of the foreclosure process to promote the interest of both lenders and borrowers. …

Reverse Mortgages: A Financial Planning Device For The Elderly, 1 Elder L.J. 75 (1993), Celeste M. Hammond

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

An analysis of the merits of reverse mortgages from individual and public policy perspectives is the subject of Professor Hammond's article. She argues that the elderly's typical "house rich, but cash poor" problem warrants approval of a method which allows the elderly to tap their home equity for income purposes while allowing them to remain in their homes.

She also describes the three types of reverse mortgages currently available. Finally, Professor Hammond sets forth a list of legal issues that …

The History Behind Hansberry V. Lee, 20 U.C. Davis L. Rev. 481 (1987), Allen R. Kamp

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

This Article provides the factual background to Hansberry v. Lee, the famous class action case. During the early 1900's, Chicago's black population was kept effectively segregated, primarily through the use of racially restrictive covenants.
