Barrington Towers, Tenant Advocacy, and the LA Superior Court Landscape

What can attorneys do when tenants need help but can’t afford legal services? This program explores the state of landlord-tenant cases in the Los Angeles Superior Court, with a focus on the latest research and the growing wave of default judgments. Attendees will learn about vital support systems like the Counsel for Justice’s clinic and the Tenant Power Toolkit, which are making this work more accessible. The session also asks the hard question: is it possible to earn a living while representing low-income tenants? In this program, Fran Campbell and Nima Farahani will share their insights on this issue and reflect on their major victory in the high-profile Barrington Towers case that made headlines across Los Angeles.
