Resources, News Sources and People Who Can Help You Through Bankruptcy

This has been a long time coming. The first post on a blog meant to educate the public on bankruptcy matters and keep bankruptcy professionals up to date on hot issues within the wonderful (and not so wonderful) world of bankruptcy.
For starters, I simply want to say welcome. And nothing says “welcome” like a listing of public sources that may help you find your path towards financial recovery.
Before I post some really helpful links, I must disclaim a few things.  I am in no way a lawyer (yet!) nor am I providing legal advice in violation of any professional code of ethics (California or American Bar Association). Think of me as a legal secretary guiding you to other sources that MAY be able to give you direct legal advice about your specific situation. Comments I make regarding any articles posted, are only that–General comments and opinions.  And with that, hopefully the links below may be helpful. Please check back to this first post for updated links as I will add more links over time.
Links For Consumers, Lawyers and Judges
American Bankruptcy Institute:  This is the Mecca of all things bankruptcy. Consumers, lawyers and bankruptcy judges use ABI as the go-to place for publications, events, news, statistics, Pro-bono Locators, and live webinars.
ABI Charts and Graphs:  ABI also provide charts ranging from frequency of bankruptcy filings, mortgage delinquency trends, housing and real estate trends.
Links For Consumers Re: Pro-Bono and Affordable Solutions For Financial Recovery (Emphasis on Southern California)
Orange County(Ca) Legal Aid Society Hotline:  Low income Orange County residents facing the prospect of filing bankruptcy may call this hotline to determine eligibility to be provided with pro-bono legal representation or guidance for your Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This hotline may schedule an in person appointment with an attorney for free if you are eligible. The personnel here are incredibly friendly and very experienced.
OC Legal Aid Society: Legal Genie Bankruptcy Forms and Legal Advice:  If OC residents do not qualify for free legal representation yet are still low income individuals who cannot afford an attorney, Legal Aid provides a do it yourself website with forms and access to attorneys for advice during a do-it-yourself process for a nominal fee.
Orange County Public Law Center Bankruptcy Clinic:  Another resource for low income OC residents to seek pro-bono legal representation through the potential Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The Public Law Center also represents (although rarely) low income consumer creditors.
Links For Attorneys and Judges
ABI Volo Project:  This is a service for practicing attorneys and judges lead by a community of fellow attorneys providing 24 hour updates on game changing bankruptcy Circuit Courts of Appeal decisions directly to your email or phone.
Other Areas of Law Such as Immigration and Taxes as it Relates to Bankruptcy: 
FicaroLaw News and Resource Center:  This is the hub website for news and resources involving Immigration, Real Estate and Foreclosure, Tax and Bankruptcy.
