Philadelphia VIP will be holding a Virtual Training: The Nuts & Bolts of Representing a Tenant in Municipal Court on March 17, 2021 at 12:00 PM Eastern.

At this training, led by Vijaya Singh of Philadelphia VIP, Kadeem Morris of Community Legal Services, and Heidi Crikelair of Blank Rome LLP, you will gain an overview of landlord-tenant law and practical information for representing a client in a landlord-tenant dispute in the Philadelphia courts.

Over 90% of tenants in Philadelphia lack representation in their eviction hearings, while over 80% of landlords have attorneys to represent their interests. This training aims to equip volunteers with the tools needed to expand access to justice in this critical area.

Due to office closures and in the interest of protecting our community’s health, this training will take place via Zoom. The Zoom meeting information will be sent to people registering to attend.
