 A Refresher on Basic Property Law Concepts for Foreclosure Defense Practitioners

Foreclosure defense and mortgage loss mitigation often implicate basic real property law issues, and for some, law school’s first year property course was a long time away. This session will provide a refresher on such basics as the different forms of property ownership (tenancies in common, joint tenancies with rights of survivorship, tenancies by the entirety, etc.), impact of death on different forms of holding title, different means of conveyances of property (such as quit claim deeds,), and an overview of New York’s recording statute.

    Jeremy Sheff (Speaker)

    Jeremy Sheff joined the faculty of St. John's University School of Law in the fall of 2008. He teaches Introduction to Intellectual Property, Trademarks & Unfair Competition, Property, First Amendment Law, and Patent Law. Professor Sheff's research interests span Intellectual Property law, First Amendment law, and Internet and Cyberlaw. In particular, his research focuses on how law mediates the creation, dissemination, and use of information in social, cultural, and economic exchange. He approaches these issues from an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing on research in psychology, philosophy, economics, marketing, and political science. Professor Sheff received his B.A., summa cum laude, from Columbia University in 1999, and his J.D., cum laude, from Harvard Law School in 2002. While at Harvard he was an editor and symposium chair of the Harvard Law Review. After graduation, he clerked for Hon. C. P. Sifton of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Prior to his arrival at St. John's, Professor Sheff worked as a litigator for five years at Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, where his practice covered a broad variety of commercial disputes, including intellectual property litigation, antitrust litigation, contract disputes, and commercial tort claims.
