She is arguably the one person most responsible for keeping Nassau attorneys current with the law. After overseeing thousands of CLE seminars, helping tens of thousands of attorneys and jurists, and working with 21 Deans, Barbara has decided to retire from the Bar. Her announcement was met with sur- prise, but also was a chance for many, particularly some of the past deans of the Academy, to express their gratitude for all that Barbara has accomplished. NCBA President Peter J. Mancuso, who also served as the Dean of the Academy (2005-06), noted, What a wonderful per- son she is, and what a tremendous job I , Barbara Kraut, Director of the Nassau Academy of Law she has done of guiding our NAL offer- ings through the shifting sands of CLE in New York State over the years! She has been recognized for her devotion to her work and for her constant efforts to See BARBARA KRAUT, Page 2 Volunteers Needed at NCBA's Third Annual Pro Bono Legal FAIR By Gale 0.

The students, many of whom were survivors of Hurricane Katrina, brought with them a strong belief and passion for helping others and were impressed with all the help that came in from all over the country - especially the many lawyers who came to help residents. One student, Iriane Lee, from New Orleans, had to relocate to Houston after Katrina. I was in awe of all the work that had to be done, she said. The Sandy peo- ple were worse off than myself. I knew how I felt at the time, and I wanted to find some way to serve other people. NCBA Second Vice President Martha Krisel explained to the students how NCBA quickly put in place free legal consultation clinics for residents, based on the model cre- FOCUS: REAL ESTATE LAW Recent Appellate Term Rulings Make Gaining Possession of Collateral More Difficult for Foreclosing Lenders and Purchasers Page 3 Establishing, Maintaining and Expanding Nonconforming Uses Page 3 Navigating Unchartered Waters in Land Use Development Real Estate Mortgage Foreclosure Receiverships Legislature Responds to Foreclosure Issues GENERAL ARTICLES Viacom Requests New Judge in Case Against YouTube Page 5 Visiting in the Great Hall are law students (-r) Quinn Eubanks, Kyla Hemphill, Summerian Green, NCBA Second VP Martha Krisel, Law Professor Donald North, NCBA Director of Pro Page 7 Bono Attorney Activities Gale Berg, and law students Iriane Lee, Theresa King and Diangelo Frazer.

'The beauty is that this arrangement is non-adversarial, she said. 'The government working with vol- unteer lawyers is the only way to achieve suc- cess. We all have limited resources. Krisel encouraged the students to volun- teer to get hands-on experience. Don't give up, get more experience. It will pay off, she advised.
