Calling all Mentors!
Volunteers Needed for UD Trust Minor Students!
Join the UD Trust Minor Mentoring program and make a difference in someone’s life! The program relies entirely on professional volunteers who are interested in mentoring a student. Mentors simply need to share their time and what they know based on their own professional development. The mentoring program makes this relationship as easy as possible by matching you with someone with similar interests. What’s involved? The responsibility is at least one hour a month of contact with the student which can include shadowing at the Trust Conference and attending UD student mentoring events. For further information, contact Professor Jennifer McCloskey @ jzmac@udel.edu

Ballard Spahr Alert: Seventh Circuit: Reference to Amount of Static Debt as 'Current Balance' Didn't Violate FDCPA
The Seventh Circuit held in Koehn v. Delta Outsource Group, Inc., et al. that using the term “current balance” in a collection letter to reference a static amount of debt was not misleading and did not violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The plaintiff alleged that a collection letter she received from the collection agency Delta Outsource Group, Inc. (Delta) was false, deceptive, and misleading in violation of the FDCPA because it referred to her debt as the “current balance” even though her account was static, meaning additional fees and interest could no longer be added. According to the plaintiff, the term “current balance” falsely implied that the “current balance” might increase, thereby misleading debtors to give such static debts greater priority than they otherwise would. Delta successfully moved to dismiss the complaint for failing to state a claim, arguing it was apparent on the face of the letter that no significant fraction of the population would be misled.
