Serving West Virginia

Consumer Rights Litigation Conference

by Kevin Baker on October 19th, 2009

I am trav­el­ing to Philadel­phia this week for the National Con­sumer Law Cen­ter’s Con­sumer Rights Lit­i­ga­tion Con­fer­ence.  At the con­fer­ence, I will hear lec­tures from and have con­ver­sa­tions with many of the country’s fore­most experts in con­sumer rights law.  Some of the legal top­ics cov­ered include unfair mort­gage prac­tices, the fair credit report­ing act, ille­gal debt col­lec­tion tac­tics, and the truth in lend­ing act.  In addi­tion, I will have the oppor­tu­nity to get tips on many aspects of lit­i­ga­tion, such as pre-​​trial lit­i­ga­tion strat­egy, cross-​​examining expert wit­nesses, mea­sur­ing and estab­lish­ing dam­ages in con­sumer law cases, and pre­serv­ing a record for appeal.

This con­fer­ence will be a great oppor­tu­nity to learn about cut­ting edge issues in con­sumer rights lit­i­ga­tion from the best con­sumer advo­cates in the nation.  I am excited to take part in the con­fer­ence and thrilled to bring back what I learn to help con­sumers in West Virginia.
