Deadline to Register: October 26, 2015
The
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) provides important financial
and civil protections for members of our military. Although the law has been
in place for many years (it was formerly known as the Soldiers and
Sailors Civil relief Act or SSCRA), a number of financial institutions
and other entities that do business with servicemembers are not in
full compliance with its provisions. Also, attorneys that represent servicemembers,
their families or co-obligors need to have working knowledge of the protections
so that they can properly advise their clients and represent their interests.
This presentation will discuss which
individuals are covered under the Act; when the protections begin and end; the
purposes of the Act and Supreme Court decisions on how it is to be
interpreted; the most often used financial provisions of the SCRA such as
the interest rate caps, protections against foreclosure or repossession of
servicemember property (personal or real); protections against default
judgments; stay of proceedings when the servicemember is on active duty; private
cause of action when rights under the Act have been violated, and; remedies
available to servicemembers. With the ongoing deployments of our military
men and women around the world, and the financial pressures faced by them and
their families over the last decade, protections under the SCRA will continue to
play an important role for servicemembers and the companies that do business
with them.
Lunch and registration will begin at 11:45 am. The program will begin at approximately 12:00 pm.
