On Wednesday, March 24, 2010, Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review hosted the 2010 Developments in the Law Symposium: The Home Mortgage Crisis. As the world crawls out of recession, it is more important than ever to understand what happened and how we can avoid similar catastrophes in the future. Professor Lauren Willis and five Loyola students presented their research on these issues.

Articles from the symposium are available in the Summer 2010 issue of the Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review.
