No, a lis pendens does not stop or prevent foreclosure at all. A lis pendens is a notice that the lender's attorneys may file in the land records to indicate that a particular property is in the process of a pending litigation. Various types of notice are filed in different jurisdictions to indicate a pending foreclosure.
The term lis pendens is Latin for "lawsuit pending". The purpose of the notice is to show anyone researching the real estate that there is a pending lawsuit, any lawsuit that affects the property.
The only legal mechanism that would prevent foreclosure is filing bankruptcy and this only puts the process on hold while the creditor and debtor are coming to an agreement to negotiate a settlement of the debt.

Is it legal to transfer property to a land trust if there has been a lis pendens filed against said property?
Sure. But read on. The purpose of a lis pendens is to notify anyone whom it may concern that an action is pending which will affect title to a certain property, and anyone with any interest in that property will take subject to the rights of the plaintiff in that action. While you can transfer title to your property to a trust, the trust will take subject to the rights of the plaintiff in the lawsuit which the lis pendens is filed for, just as if the trust was a named party to the lawsuit. For example, if the lis pendens warns of a lawsuit for foreclosure, and the plaintiff wins the lawsuit, the trust, as new owner of the property, must pay the foreclosure judgment or lose the property. Also, the lis pendens will show up as an exception on any title policy issued for the subject property. Upon dismissal of the lawsuit in question, the lis pendens is automatically moot. Note: If your property is faced with a lis pendens, I would strongly recommend consulting with a real estate attorney immediately. Luckily, some attorneys give "free consultations"--see the phonebook.
