ALSP Set to Launch New Housing Dispute Training |
|
Counsel for Justice AIDS Legal Services Project is excited to announce a pro bono opportunity for LACBA members to take part in a new homelessness prevention dispute resolution project that will assist vulnerable tenants living with HIV and AIDS. The project is scheduled to be released later this summer.
New materials are being developed in collaboration with the LA City Department on Disability, including an interactive streamlined “mediation” type training that will provide skills any attorney can incorporate into their practice. The goal of the project is to quickly engage trained volunteers to resolve housing disputes to help keep people housed and improve the quality of life for disabled tenants.
For further information, please contact ALSP Director Laurie Aronoff at laronoff@lacba.org or 213-833-6776.

A Message from the New LACBA Counsel for Justice President Colleen Hart |
|
Dear Colleagues:
I am honored and privileged to step into the role of President of Counsel for Justice this coming year. I want to thank outgoing President Susan Sullivan and immediate past President Brian Condon for their dedication, service and leadership. Additionally, I would like to thank the former members of our board of directors whose term as director ended in June and those who will continue to serve in the coming year. You have made Counsel for Justice the extraordinary organization it is today.
As we continue to navigate the disruptions and challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, I’d also like to take a moment to recognize and express my gratitude for how our projects and volunteers have responded. They have worked tirelessly to develop and implement new ways to provide legal support and access to justice to the most vulnerable in Los Angeles and surrounding areas during these times of great need.
