Chicagoland Residential Evictions: Past, Present, Promising (3/8/23)

This is a hybrid event with an in-person and a webinar option. Please select the appropriate button when registering if you plan to attend in-person.

This seminar will address the current state of residential evictions in Chicago. Join us to learn about significate changes to eviction court procedures and resources available to unrepresented litigants navigating the eviction process. We will also discuss the innovative model of providing legal aid for eviction matters in Cook County where all unrepresented parties have access to limited legal assistance through the Cook County Legal Aid for Housing and Debt (CCLAHD) program and a more limited pool of tenants in Chicago who are screened as needing further assistance have access to extended legal representation through the City of Chicago’s “right to counsel” pilot program that is integrated into the CCLAHD program. 

Speakers:
Dennericka Brooks, Director, Housing Practice Group, Legal Aid Chicago
Michelle Gilbert, Legal Director, Law Center for Better Housing
Bob Glaves, Executive Director, Chicago Bar Foundation
