Shockingly, more than 90% of the tenant defendants in D.C.'s Landlord/Tenant Court routinely appear in court without counsel. Evictions lead to homelessness. With such high stakes, legal representation in landlord/tenant matters can make a huge difference in the lives of individuals and families. Topics to be covered at this introductory training session include substantive landlord and tenant law, eviction procedures, pleadings and pre-trial procedures, subsidized housing issues, rent control, and the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. This training is appropriate for attorneys, attorney/paralegal teams, and law students doing clinical work.
