Supreme Court curbs on fixed legal fees seen aiding home buyers
The Supreme Court ruled uniform minimum legal fees by bar associations violate federal antitrust laws in a real estate closing costs case. A new federal law requires mortgage lenders to clearly disclose special fees to buyers, easing home purchases amid economic strain. The decision may also challenge lawyers' fee schedules in divorce and criminal cases and raise questions about other professional fees. Bob Hope condemns Vietnam defeat and warns of Communist threats, calling for protests against the pullout. Secretary Kissinger later warned foreign policy must endure across decades, criticizing inconsistent positions.
