It's Standing Room Only At Sarasota Foreclosure Court's "Rocket Docket"

In Sarasota, Florida, the Tampa Tribune reports:

• Lawyers and frantic homeowners cram together, creating a standing-room-only crowd before Judge Harry Rapkin's foreclosure court. [...] Rapkin, now retired, comes in on a part-time basis to oversee what's become known as the "Rocket Docket." And he gave everyone the same advice: "You need a lawyer." [...] The court, aimed at moving foreclosures through the judicial system at a quicker pace, stems from an effort to unclog dockets and still give the little guy a voice.
