Lisa Madigan
U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan will be among the speakers discussing the landmark $25 billion national mortgage crisis settlement during a Friday appearance at Loyola University Chicago.
Madigan, a Loyola alumnae, was among a group of state attorneys general who helped negotiate the National Mortgage Settlement with the nation’s five largest banks over allegations that they signed foreclosure documents outside the presence of a notary public and without really knowing whether the facts they contained were correct.
Details of the settlement are available here: National Mortgage Settlement
Donovan and Madigan will be joined by former Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, and former North Carolina Commissioner of Banks/Independent Monitor Joseph Smith Jr.
The event is from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday and is free and open to the public. It will be held at the Loyola University Chicago School of Law/Philip H. Corboy Law Center at the school’s Water Tower Campus downtown.
Here is a news release from the university:
