Housing Justice Clinic
Â鶹ÉçÇø the Housing Justice Clinic
Students in the Housing Justice Clinic (HJC) represent clients seeking to remain in their homes despite the threat of eviction. Working under the supervision of clinic faculty and staff at the King County Bar Association's Housing Justice Project, students interview clients, negotiate with opposing counsel and prepare for — and conduct — hearings in court.
In the clinic seminar, HJC students learn the substantive law and practical skills needed for this quick-fire form of urgently needed representation while also looking more closely at the broader issues raised by the eviction crisis in our region and country and contemplating other forms of advocacy for achieving housing justice.
