Attached  here is a detailed article Lynn wrote which addresses issues raised in the New York Case U.S. Bank, N.A. v.
Emmanuel, 2010 NY Slip Op 50819.   The reason why this case is so important is Judge Archur Schack dismissed a foreclosure case and found the Plaintiff had no standing to proceed with the case because the assignment of mortgage was executed by an attorney working for the Plaintiff in the case.   As detailed in the article:

In   tens   of   thousands   of   cases,   law   firm employees sign as MERS officers, without disclosing to the Court or to
homeowners   that   they   are   actually   employed   by   the   law   firm,   not MERS,   and   that   the   firm   is   being   paid   and working   on   behalf   of   the Trust/Grantee   while   the   firm   employee   is   signing   on   behalf   of   the original lender/Grantor.

This improper situation of lawyers producing the evidence and submitting it to the court on behalf of their clients to support the case is an epidemic in courtrooms across the country.   The full opinion can be read here. This is a key case for all practitioners because the legal rationale used by the judge in the opinion should be cited in Motions to Disqualify counsel and in Motions to Dismiss cases.
