Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Worker Coops and the Law

[Eric Giegerich (giegericheric]

Dear Cohousing List,

I'm planning to go to law school and I'm quite interested in cohousing, coops, 
and community.  Having cooperatively bought a house with friends some years 
ago, I realized how difficult our laws are when we tried to get a bank loan. 
 In any case, I'm particularly interested in cohousing from a legal 
perspective.  I wanted to ask the list for tips or leads on legal resources 
relevant to cohousing, coops, and community, or related areas of alternative 
law.  Case studies would also be useful.  So would literature, key figures in 
the field, any law firms and nonprofit legal advocacy groups that people have 
dealt with successfully.

Thanks in advance!
Eric
