Foreclosure Court

I went to civil division motions this morning. Just about all of the local lawyers representing mortgage foreclosure firms were there. They all had a few motions, mostly unopposed. Very few lawyers were there with motions or arguments on any other kind of case. I’ve seen this phenomenon occur many times in recent years. This despite the fact that so many cases are going to mediation. Before then, it was typical for the foreclosure lawyers to bring in ten motions and orders in a day. At least the flow is slowing a bit.

Perhaps motions practice will come back to life in September.
