Conversations on Civil Justice: The Civil Justice Crisis in Housing Cases

 

An average day in a typical housing court will see about 97% of tenants appearing without a lawyer while an average 81% of landlords have legal representation. What are the implications of this gross inequity for the civil justice system as a whole?


How are courts dealing with the crisis? And what steps might be taken to address it?


Please join this discussion of the issues with:


  • CJRI’s Richard Jolly (Professor at Southwestern Law), 
  • John Pollock, Coordinator of the National Coalition for a Civil Right to Counsel, and 
  • Meghan Gordon, Housing Co-Director for the East Bay Community Law Center.
