All Rise for Civil Justice

All Rise for Civil Justice is the national campaign to fix our civil justice system.

The Supreme Court just couldn't find the time to protect Texans from the rollback of Roe, but had plenty of room on its shadow docket (twice since June!) to allow landlords to evict tenants during a pandemic.

[Legal Aid of Southeastern PA @LegalAidSEPA]

Bucks County can continue an administrative order granting temporary stay on some evictions for nonpayment of rent. "Pa Supreme Court greenlights Bucks County eviction stay program": https://t.co/B7aeRKbyMe. Story 8/2/21 @CourierTimes @JoCiavaglia

Congress is headed for the comfort of home while millions of Americans are about to be stripped of theirs. Extending the #EvictionMoratorium is the right thing and the smart thing while rent relief has time to get where it's needed.

[Voices for Civil Justice @JusticeVoices]

Civil courts have the power to prevent a nightmare eviction scenario, writes Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice @BridgetMaryMc. They must seize this narrow window of opportunity to prevent mass homelessness through collaboration and innovation. @TheHill

[Law360's Access to Justice @Justice_Law360]

EXPERT ANALYSIS: Millions of Americans go through civil courts each year without adequate legal help or the information they need to make their case in court. It doesn't have to be this way, but change will require disruption. https://t.co/BV1A5UWv5C

[Voices for Civil Justice @JusticeVoices]

Every year, 3.6 million evictions are filed in the US, disproportionately impacting women and people of color. Just 3% of tenants are represented by a lawyer, compared to 81% of landlords.

“Eviction court is not a court of justice; it is not a court of fairness.” - Matthew Desmond (@just_shelter) at today's @WhiteHouse briefing on eviction prevention

[NCCRC @TheNCCRC]

Last week, CT & MD became 2nd & 3rd states w/tenant #righttocounsel. DE, MA, NE, NJ, NY, & Denver have bills pending, and we'll likely see NE, MN, and SC bills again next year. What a year for the movement. @emilyabenfer @NLIHC @NHLP @JusticeVoices @NLADA @RTCNYC

Despite a recent court ruling, the CDC eviction moratorium remains in effect until further notice. To find out more, please visit our website at https://t.co/CCxJAPYDtT

What's at stake with court decision on the CDC moratorium? Meet Patricia, a single mom who has had three landlords since losing her job bc of covid. Each has tried kicking her out. Living in her van might be next. My latest: https://t.co/BQgTQqweG2

@washingtonpost editorial nails it: "This is an offense to justice"

Without ever seeing a lawyer, you can lose your kids, home and freedom.

Terrific piece on the ongoing eviction burden borne disproportionately by Black and brown families, featuring the crucial role #LegalAid and @CVLASRichmond plays in keeping families housed

[Voices for Civil Justice @JusticeVoices]

"In Maryland courts, landlords are nearly always represented by a lawyer or agent in eviction cases; tenants very rarely are ... Unsurprisingly, tenants who have lawyers are far more likely than those who do not to stave off eviction." @washingtonpost

[Voices for Civil Justice @JusticeVoices]

To tackle inequality and injustice, the Biden admin should address systemic problems in the civil justice system that stack the deck, in cases like evictions and debt collection, against people of modest and low incomes

2021 will be the year of #CivilJusticeReform

The pandemic has shown how civil justice (and injustice) determines who stays housed, and who gets evicted. Who gets the money to eat, and whose unemployment claims get stuck

2021: the year of #JusticeforAll

How well do you know the civil justice system's role in issues you care most about? Domestic violence? Veterans? Social justice writ large? @LSCtweets' By the Numbers is chock full of fascinating & useful info. https://t.co/A2y2vzN07i

[Voices for Civil Justice @JusticeVoices]

Might sound dull as dirt, but it's NOT. This brand new (today) version of @LSCtweets "By the Numbers" is a great tool for reporters & other justice data nerds. https://t.co/OW3wSNrdeW

[All Rise for Civil Justice @allrisejustice]

Must read new report from @americanacad's calls for an urgent national effort to expand access to justice and ensure justice for all in our civil courts #A2J #accesstojustice #civiljustice

[Voices for Civil Justice @JusticeVoices]

Day 1 of the @CDCgov national moratorium on evictions and landlords are already defying it. @LStarLegal attorney Juan Santamaria says it’s impt that renters have proof they gave their landlords the signed CDC affidavit in case they end up in court. https://t.co/PP4AwLKL1V
