The National Consumer Law Center (NCLC) has created an online Bankruptcy Mortgage Project Website for courts, trustees, attorneys, mortgage servicers, academics, and consumers in the bankruptcy community. It organizes and provides access to more than 500 local rules, forms, general orders, and court opinions addressing a variety of mortgage issues in consumer bankruptcy cases across the United States. This free “one-stop shop†collection can be a resource for those interested in adopting new programs and local rules to assist consumers, their attorneys and mortgage creditors in addressing mortgage claims and seeking alternatives to foreclosure. Many of the website’s documents are not easily accessible using traditional legal research tools. The website was funded in part by a grant from the Endowment for Education of the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges.
 The website is organized by topic: Loss Mitigation and Mediation, Cure Plan Requirements, Stay Relief Requirements, Lien Stripping, and Chapter 13 Plans. It is searchable by state, subject, court location (district and circuit), or document type. Visitors can also click on a map to pull up all relevant information for a particular state. Visitors can view and download all referenced documents. The URL is: http://www.
