Monterey College of Law Dean Mitchel Winick Elected Vice Chair of California Law School Council

Seaside, CA (PRWEB) January 26, 2009

Dean Mitchel Winick of Monterey College of Law has been elected Vice Chair of the California Law School Council. Members of the Council are elected by the California Law School Assembly and appointed by the Board of Governors of the State Bar of California for three-year terms. The Law School Assembly is comprised of the deans of all 57 California law schools. Winick is one of two deans appointed to the Council to represent the 16 California-accredited law schools.

Winick has served as dean of Monterey College of Law since 2005, having previously served as the Assistant Dean at Texas Tech University Law School. “Legal education in California is quite unique because of the wide range of choices provided,” said Winick. “Most people would be surprised to learn that we have more than 50 law schools in California. New York state has the second-highest number of law schools and they only have 15,” pointed out Winick.

“I think that it is fair to say that California provides greater access to legal education than any other state. We have public, private, accredited, unaccredited, fixed facility, correspondence, and distance learning law schools,” explained Winick. California is the only jurisdiction that grants state accreditation of law schools in addition to recognizing national accreditation through the American Bar Association. Of the 57 law schools in California, 20 are accredited through the ABA and an additional 16 are accredited through the State Bar of California, including Monterey College of Law. The other 21 schools are unaccredited, but regulated through the State Bar of California. The entire list can be accessed on the State Bar website at http://www.calbar.ca.gov.

“Although there are many differences between law schools, there are also policies and issues that affect all of us. The Council provides a place to identify and discuss important issues such as admission standards, student and faculty diversity, law school curriculum, and our role in improving access to the justice system,” said Winick. “This is a particularly important time to serve on the Council,” said Winick. “The State Bar of California and the ABA have recently proposed changes in admission and retention regulations that some of us believe could have a negative impact on access to legal education in California. The Council provides a place for deans at the different types of law schools to discuss these policies and provide feedback to the regulatory agencies.”

Dean Winick is joined on the 2009 Law School Council by Dean Steven Smith of California Western School of Law in San Diego who will serve as the 2009 Council Chair . Other members include: Dean Barry Currier, Concord Law School; Dean Rudolph Hasl, Thomas Jefferson School of Law, Dean Joseph Moless, Lincoln Law School of San Jose; Dean Nell Jessup Newton, University of California Hastings College of Law; Dean Kevin O’Connell, Pacific West College of Law; Dean David Polden, Santa Clara University School of Law; Dean Michael Schill, University of California at Los Angeles School of Law; and Dean Kenneth Starr, Pepperdine University McConnell Law Center.

California Girl is Wild at Heart

Healdsburg, CA (PRWEB) July 24, 2008

“In 1990 we heard the wilderness call to us, and, God help us, we answered.”

So begins Accidental Cowgirl: Six Cows, No Horse and No Clue, Mary Lynn Archibald’s rollicking memoir of “living the country dream” on remote Twin Creeks Ranch.

“With a single stroke of the pen, our ‘relaxing country retreat plans’ had gone out the window,” she says, “and we found we were the greenhorn owners of six cows, two cats, a flock of wild turkeys and a working cattle ranch. We soon found the ‘simple life’ wasn’t so simple.”

Author Ray Raphael had this to say about the book: “So you want to move to the country? Before closing escrow or mounting your horse, try galloping through the pages of Accidental Cowgirl. You might die laughing, but if you survive with your dreams still intact, at least you will have been warned.”

An award-winning author, Mary Lynn is also a freelance business writer and frequent contributor to the Press Democrat and Today’s Home magazine, and has also written for the Healdsburg Tribune; NorthBay Biz Magazine; the Sonoma Searcher; and Chicken Soup for the Single Parent’s Soul. She writes and speaks regularly on the subjects of autobiography and memoir, real estate, interior design, gardening, travel, and food and wine.

She now makes her home in the less remote “wilds” of Sonoma County with her husband, Carl, and dog of questionable parentage, Fizzbo. Her book is available in Sonoma County, at Copperfield’s Books in Healdsburg, Petaluma and Santa Rosa, and Barnes and Noble, as well as internationally through Amazon.com, BN.com, Borders, ABE Books.com and select local and regional bookstores.

N. California Foreclosures Up Eight Percent In February 2009

Mt. Pleasant, PA (PRWEB) March 26, 2009

Default Research (http://www.defaultresearch.com), the premier provider of preforeclosure real estate data in Northern California, is reporting that Notice of Defaults and Notice of Trustee Sales in the Northern California region increased approximately eight percent from February 2008 to February 2009. The counties with the highest percentage of households in foreclosure during the past twelve month period were Solano reaching 8.47 percent, Contra Costa with 7.88, and Sacramento at 7.42. For more detailed Northern California area foreclosure statistics listed by county, please visit http://market.defaultresearch.com.

“With California’s unemployment rate at 10.1 percent, well above the national average of 7.6 percent, we will continue to see foreclosure activity well into 2009,” said Serdar Bankaci, founder of Default Research. “That staggering jobless rate is directly tied to the approximately 4.8 percent of households that entered into foreclosure within the last 12 months in the region.”

Bankaci was encouraged, though, by the median home prices which seem to have leveled off in the past 60 days while inventories have been declining steadily since July of 2008. Additionally, the state is still waiting for the Mortgage Relief Plan and to see the trickle down effect of the stimulus bills.

“The stimulus money and a spike in consumer spending cannot come too soon for the business owners of Northern California,” said Bankaci, whose daily pre foreclosure lists, which also include commercial properties, are e-mailed directly to real estate professionals in the region. “As the economy continues to slump in the area and consumers spend less, businesses are being forced to close. We have begun to see more non-residential foreclosures occurring, including commercial and retail buildings.”

Bankaci explained that, when the commercial loans are due, property owners are unable to refinance, and that is contributing to the commercial foreclosure increase. In fact, the number of commercial foreclosures in the Default Research coverage areas increased approximately 35 percent from January 2009 to February 2009. However, the new commercial properties present a new avenue for the well-informed Default Research clients to explore.

“Although banks may not be lending money now, private equity may come into play when financing commercial projects,” said Bankaci. “Many experts predict that, with the hefty economic stimulus plans going into effect, consumer confidence will begin to rise again in late 2009 and 2010. This in turn would result in more businesses opening and commercial properties increasing in value.”

Below is a unique and accurate local look at how the Default Research foreclosure statistics (February 2009) affect your area:

Alameda Foreclosures – Hardest hit cities are Oakland (441), Hayward (285), San Leandro (124) Fremont (101) and Union City (76)

Contra Costa Foreclosures – Hardest hit cities are Antioch (267), Richmond (172), Concord (167), Brentwood (152) and Pittsburg (137)

Sacramento Foreclosures – Hardest hit cities are Sacramento (1443), Elk Grove (400), Citrus Heights (149), Rancho Cordova (82) and Folsom (70)

Santa Clara Foreclosures – Hardest hit cities are San Jose (906), Gilroy (80), Milpitas (50), Santa Clara (46) and Sunnyvale (38)

For more detailed Northern California foreclosure statistics listed by county, please visit http://market.defaultresearch.com.

If you would like to learn more about this topic, or schedule an interview with Serdar Bankaci, please contact Josh Chernikoff. More information about Default Research can be found at its Web site: http://www.defaultresearch.com.

Americans Living in Mexico Enjoy Exceptional Whale Watching from Home – Cost of Living in Mexico Makes Ocean View Living Affordable – Baja California Popular Among Canadians, too

Calafia Condos, Resort and Villas

Baja California, Mexico (PRWEB) February 5, 2009

Lyndie Meissner, a resident of Calafia Condos, Resort and Villas, an intimate gated community just 30 miles south of the border with Mexico, is effusive about this year’s whale migration.

“Coming from Canada, we took sightseeing boats to see the grays and killer whales,” said Meissner. “It was awe-inspiring and made for a lifetime of memories. The low cost of living in Mexico allows us now to wake up every morning and witness this spectacular scene right in our front yard. Living in Mexico has its advantages.

Tegan Firth of Hornblower Cruises, which operates daily tours endorsed by the San Diego Natural History Museum, says the whale watching season is special.

“This year is more exciting than ever. We’re seeing not only more whales but many are traveling closer to shore on their way to Mexico,” Tegan said. “Every year, thousands of grey whales make their annual 6,000-mile migration to Baja California to calf. We expect as many as 25,000 tourists and locals alike will come to see these graceful, gentle giants up close.”

Avid whale watchers taking advantage of the low cost of living in Mexico, however, don’t have to board boats to see ocean life up close. Their own home is their lookout point from which to scan the sea for the mammals’ telltale salt mist geysers. Affordable Baja California home prices and available mortgage financing has allowed thousands of Americans and Canadians the luxury of whale watching from their living-room balconies, kitchens and master bedrooms.

Melinda Bates, the author of the recently published book about her years in the Clinton administration, is one Mexico resident that looks forward to watching the annual migration from her home in the same Calafia Condos, Resort and Villas community. Bates says this year in Mexico is special.

“It’s easy to become jaded. We’re used to seeing pods of porpoise playing in the waves,” she said. “Friends visit and are stunned how we take it in stride. But really, even after living here for three years, you can’t believe the excitement of spotting whales. They spout, and flap a fin or tail – it just never gets old to have them as neighbors.”

Americans and Canadians taking advantage of the low cost of living in ocean front Baja California homes are enjoying one of the most amazing whale migrations by just looking out the window. With affordable prices and easy financing, living in an ocean view home means enjoying the ocean life up close every day. Bates bubbles with enthusiasm and energy, “With the cost of living so low and the ocean so close, we loving living in Mexico. It’s a never-ending thrill.”

About Calafia Condos, Resort and Villas:

Calafia Condos, Resort and Villas is a beach community on the Pacific coast of Baja California, Mexico, guarded by 24-hour security. Immediately south of the historic city of Rosarito Beach, it is surrounded by charming shops, restaurants, clubs, art galleries, golf courses and more. And Baja’s famed wine country is only a 15-minute drive away.

Spacious condominiums are available at prices from 8,000 for a two-bedroom oceanfront residence to 0,000 for a 15th-floor penthouse.

Strategic Capital Recommended by Consumer Attorneys of California

Strategic Capital Corporation

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 27, 2012

Strategic Capital Corporation announced today that the Consumer Attorneys of California has issued a letter to members recommending the company to sell structured settlement payments.

In a recent letter to members, Niall P. McCarthy, the 2012 President of the Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC), wrote that “Strategic Capital is an annuity purchase organization that operates in a principled fashion…” and “That is why CAOC recommends Strategic Capital if a structure needs to be sold.”

Strategic Capital Corporation http://www.StrategicCapital . c o m has forged a reputation as a trustworthy buyer of structured settlements that offers responsible and knowledgeable help to clients.

In the letter, the CAOC alludes to the industry problems while pointing out the strength of Strategic Capital. “As a general rule, CAOC recommends against the selling of structured settlements,” McCarthy writes. Then, he goes on to note that there are times when financial necessity or client desires compel someone to sell their structured settlement payments and simply states, “When that happens, CAOC suggests that its members use CAOC-approved vendors such as Strategic Capital.”

The letter explains that the board members of the CAOC have carefully scrutinized the company and found that Strategic Capital operates with integrity. In addition, the CAOC lists specific examples of the board members findings and conclusions. They found that Strategic Capital works with its clients to seek alternatives to selling annuity payments, that the company is able to buy only a part of the settlement and leave the client with the rest of the annuity payments, and they have an upper limit on the rates they charge annuitants which is significantly lower than the typical credit card rate the CAOC encounters.

This is not the only attorney recognition that Strategic Capital has received. The company has also been endorsed by the New Hampshire Association for Justice (NHAJ), the Nevada Justice Association (NJA), the Tennessee Association for Justice (TAJ), the Kentucky Justice Association (KJA), and the Maryland Association for Justice (MAJ). Strategic Capital has also been endorsed by the National Association of Trial Lawyer Executives (NATLE.)

Acknowledging the CAOC support of Strategic Capital, David Meyerowitz, President and CEO of Strategic Capital Corporation, said, “We’re proud of the recommendation from the CAOC, who recognize us as a company that runs its business to help clients and not take advantage of them. We’ve done business this way for years – with integrity and professionalism.”

Contact:

To find out more, contact president, David Meyerowitz toll free at (866) 256-0088 or visit Strategic Capital’s website at http://www.StrategicCapital . c o m.

About Strategic Capital

Strategic Capital Corporation is a specialty finance company with a focus on purchasing future payments such as structured settlements, annuity payments, and lottery winnings. To date, the company has successfully originated over .5 billion in future payments.

Sherman Oaks, California, Resident Publishes New Book

Until We Agree

Sherman Oaks, CA (Vocus) September 17, 2010

Until We Agree, a new book by William M. Ferguson, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Navigating to the stars requires mid-course correction.

To reach heaven may also require mid-course correction.

William M. Ferguson uses the knowledge developed for quality assurance in business to correlate different practices in world religions. He establishes the 80/20 ratio principle, that eighty percent of any doctrine may contribute to concordant relations while twenty percent is utterly useless. Mr. Ferguson states that some theological stances are very beneficial to daily living. Then he points out how the absurd aspects of any belief, obstinately proclaimed, have become the major source of world strife. The capability to cooperate may lead to a consensus religion for future generations.

This provocative text is timely and insightful. It is witty and easy to read as a satire, but it contains unvarnished, absolute truth. It hopes to move the world population toward a happier life.

William M. Ferguson has had a successful career in business, having recently retired as president of the Quality Control Company of Los Angeles, CA, where he worked for over fifty years. He has also conducted seminars entitled “Ten Requirements for Control of Quality,” and he is a founding member of the American Society for Quality, where he was recently the featured speaker at its fiftieth anniversary dinner. Mr. Ferguson attended American University in Los Angeles and continues to make his home in California, where he pursues music as a hobby. He is married and has four grown children.

Until We Agree is a 110-page paperback with a retail price of .00. The ISBN is 978-1-4349-9743-2. It was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
