How do I research laws about mortgages?

The Law Library of Congress has published an online research guide with resources related to consumer protection law, including mortgages. Researchers can visit Consumer Protection Law: A Beginner’s Guide to start their research.

For state-specific research and information, many state attorney general offices have detailed information on that jurisdiction’s laws and resources. You can find information about state consumer protection offices at USA.gov/state-consumer.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau also has information on its website about mortgages
