This program is hosted by the
RCBA New Lawyers Section in conjunction with Southern Minnesota
Regional Legal Services (SMRLS).
Join the RCBA New Lawyers for their annual volunteer
event in March. This year we are switching to a volunteer event more
related to the legal community, providing pro bono legal advice to low income
clients seeking eviction expungements. The COVID-19 pandemic and the
ensuing economic crisis have impacted low income Minnesotans in large numbers.
Helping someone expunge an eviction from their records can make a big difference
in their life, helping them find safe and affordable housing.
Attend the TRAINING on March
11th at 5pm
to learn the basics of eviction expungements, so you are ready to provide
advice to clients the following week at the clinic. Please hit the REGISTER button above to sign up.
Attend
the CLINIC on March 18th at
1pm to
assist individuals with their eviction expungement case preparation, including
preparing the petition, and discussing the process. You must attend the
TRAINING on March 11 to participate in the clinic. REGISTER HERE. Please register for both events.
Clients will represent themselves in court.
SMRLS will provide the training on March 11th and SMRLS will
recruit clients for the March 18th Clinic.
