Law - Series on consumer debt nominated for Pulitzer

The Pulitzer Finalists have been leaked. The ILB looked up some of the finalists' stories/series and found two terrific law-related series. (I'll talk about the second later today.)

The first is a 4-part series from the Boston Globe (you may need to register) titled "Debtor's Hell." The description: "This Boston Globe Spotlight Team investigation into the world of consumer debt in the United States found a system where debt collectors have a lopsided advantage, debtors are often treated shabbily by collectors and the courts, and consumers can quickly find themselves in a life-upending financial crisis."

There are dozens of stories and resources at the Boston Globe's homepage for this series. In addition, podcasts are available for the entire series.
