Housing Court Judicial Forum 2024

The past few years have changed the procedural landscape of the Housing Court, including changes and updates to scheduling and the manner of conducting hearings. The host is pleased to reconvene - for the thirteenth time - the Housing Court Judicial Forum 2024 - back by popular request. With regulations and statutes first adopted during the emergency and put into practice since, the Housing Court has continued to adapt to those changes and challenges by being flexible and responsive, including tremendous progress in the use of technology and creative use of scheduling to meet the challenges created by that situation and to address the shifting needs of practitioners and litigants. There are lessons to be learned and improvements to be kept from this challenging time.

Hear participants in the Forum engage in a lively discussion of the real-world impact of those changes, including the challenges and opportunities involved. Judges from all divisions of the Housing Court, joined by the chief justice of the Housing Court, engage in a frank dialogue with attending practitioners and review key issues confronting Housing Court practice today - including discussion of the efficacy of policies and programs currently in place as well as ideas for providing additional access to justice for all litigants.

Under the guidance of two experienced practitioners, the panel also reviews significant developments in regulatory and case law which may affect your practice in the Housing Court.

This Forum offers you a unique opportunity to gain valuable practical insight into judicial discretion in the Housing Court. Attendees have the opportunity to ask the panel questions and hear directly from the judges on how to better prepare and try cases. Don’t miss this valuable chance to participate in an important dialogue with members of the Housing Court.
