Overview
Why you should attend:
Across the state rent is skyrocketing. While tenants organize for rent control, evictions continue. Those who are evicted face not only the loss of their home, but also displacement from their community. Effectively defending an unlawful detainer is a profound way to impact a tenant’s life; housing instability has long-term harmful consequences.
For newer attorneys with limited litigation experience, the fast-paced unlawful detainer is also an excellent opportunity to develop skills; your case may be heading into trial only a month after the summons and complaint are served. This training provides the basic knowledge you will need to effectively defend tenants from eviction.
What you will learn:Who Should Attend
All attorneys or law students interested in or currently assisting low-income clients with eviction matters would benefit from this program. Advocates without any experience in unlawful detainers would particularly benefit from the training.
