Our training teaches the basics of representing low-income tenants who are facing eviction. Volunteer attorneys are needed to staff unlawful detainer settlement conferences and provide limited scope representation to un-represented litigants during these mandatory settlement conferences. Strategy considerations for the conference as wells as tips for drafting settlement agreements are discussed. This project is a great way to gain courtroom and litigation experience. A commitment to staff at least 4 courthouse shifts within the next six months of the training is required to attend. Participants must be licensed with the California State Bar and have active or emeritus status at the time of the training. Pre-registration is required.
