The Boston Fed is producing a report on the frequency of Heir’s Property in Massachusetts. Through a data collection process and analysis, Fed researchers hope to identify the prevalence of tangled titles, a situation in which the apparent owner of home or property is not listed on the legal deed. In partnership with the Boston Fed’s Community Development Department, the Legal Fellow will produce a report that includes legal background information on tangled titles, research methodology, analysis results, and implications for policy changes.
Students should submit a resume and cover letter to Dana Pierce at dpierce@law.harvard.edu as soon as possible, which will be sent to the Federal Reserve Bank for review. The Federal Reserve Bank will schedule an interview and select their applicant.
Once you’ve sent your application materials to Dana Pierce, you are also required to submit an independent clinical application. See this page for instructions on the independent clinical application process.
Prof. Desan will serve as the faculty sponsor: desan@law.harvard.edu.
