The 2009 edition of our Selected Consumer Statutes should be out in time for fall classes.  It's the most up-to-date statutory collection available for use in a consumer protection course or for practicing attorneys.  The 2009 edition includes the Credit CARD Act of 2009, changes to Regulation Z (including the Fed's Interim Final Rule implementing some of the changes in the Credit CARD Act, announced just two weeks ago), and other changes in the law since the 2007 edition, including measures issued in response to the economic crisis.  It contains excerpts from the Consumer Credit Protection Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, consumer privacy and identity theft protections, residential real estate financing regulations, a sample of state consumer protection statutes, relevant international materials, and many other sources.  We included more RESPA materials, in light of the regulations announced last winter, more regulations implementing the FACTA Act, and other new regulations.
