AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CONSUMER FINANCIAL SERVICES LAWYERS (ACCFSL) – 2015 WRITING COMPETITION [DEADLINE: DECEMBER 1, 2014]

The ACCFSL is a nonprofit association of attorneys who have made significant contributions to consumer financial services law over an extended period of time. Its members include academics, present and former federal and state regulatory and enforcement officers, authors in the field, private practitioners, counsel for financial institutions and other service providers, and representatives of consumer protection and advocacy organizations.

The ACCFSL is pleased to announce awards to be presented for:

1. The best book
