Magisterial District 05-2-42 Update: Lawyer of the Day program paused
Since late 2022, the Lawyer of the Day program has operated in four local Magisterial District Courts (Homewood, Hill District and both Northside courts). The program sought to bring financial support to tenants facing eviction while also, as the name suggests, providing tenants with in-court legal representation on the day of their hearings (think “public defender” but for lower income tenants). This cooperative effort among RentHelpPGH, Neighborhood Legal Services, Ebony Law and Community Justice Project and other partner organizations such as Just Mediation Pittsburgh, has been connecting tenants with legal representatives and resource navigators to assist them in navigating their eviction and very importantly, accessing needed financial assistance to solve the cause of the eviction.
