...crisis subsides, homeowner advocates hope it will at least motivate some of them to shift more of their pro bono work in that direction. In hard-hit counties like Miami-Dade, bar associations are responding by holding foreclosure-defense clinics for local lawyers. Otherwise, the fear is that far more people than necessary stand to lose homes, possibly slowing economic recovery and clogging a civil-court system already ravaged by states' budget cuts.
