SUMMARY:ArchCity Defenders Releases Next 'Know Your Rights' Guide
DESCRIPTION:IT’S HERE!\n\n\n\nOur #ProSeSTL campaign is back with a brand new “know your rights” guide! The 32-page illustrated guide entitled “Representing Yourself When Facing Eviction” is intended to equip people with information on how to defend and represent themselves if their landlord files an eviction lawsuit against them. This housing rights guide covers different types of eviction lawsuits\, how to best prepare for court\, tips for speaking with your landlord or their attorney\, representing yourself at trial\, and what options people have based on the possible outcomes in a case. It also includes helpful information such as resources for utility and rental assistance\, phone numbers and locations of local courts\, a sample court summons\, and a glossary of legal terms. \n\nWe’ve authored this guide as part of our ongoing housing advocacy efforts. In the past year\, thousands of St. Louisans have had to navigate stressful legal matters without attorneys\, with limited legal knowledge\, and while trying to figure out how to represent themselves over the phone or behind a screen. In the St. Louis region\, as the local and federal eviction moratoriums are expiring\, thousands of people are at risk of being evicted from their homes. \nView\, download\, or print your own guide by visiting ProSeSTL.org \n\nSpecial thanks to our amazing illustrator\, Noah Jodice\, for his collaboration with us on this highly anticipated project and public resource.

SUMMARY:ACD Hosts CLE: Pro Bono Representation (Housing)
DESCRIPTION:For the past year\, courts closed and/or slowed evictions and they’ve backed up. Families owe more in back rent than ever before and the federal assistance programs are not fast enough and do not provide enough support to prevent the oncoming wave of evictions. Landlords will soon be able to request sheriffs to execute evictions and we anticipate that the number of eviction lawsuit filings will increase exponentially too. Providing tenants with legal representation is more important than ever before.  \n“Tenants with representation were forcibly displaced from their homes in just 5 percent of cases\, compared with a staggering 78 percent of unrepresented tenants. Represented tenants were also twice as likely as unrepresented tenants to receive a favorable judgment.” – Center for American Progress \nIn April\, we are hosting a free\, introductory CLE to prepare lawyers to provide pro bono representation to tenants through ACD’s volunteer lawyer program. CLE credit has been approved by the Missouri Bar for 2.4 hours (0.5 ethics). \nNote: we will be providing the SAME CLE on three different dates to try to make it more accessible. You will select your session on the registration page. \nThe registration link: https://bit.ly/398IAvk \nApril 7 from 9-11 a.m. \nApril 14 from 4-6 p.m. \nApril 21 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
