RTC for Culture Change: What High-Quality Representation Looks like LIMITED
Friday April 25, 2025 10:30am - 12:00pm EDT
Auditorium WA14, basement level
This session examines high-quality representation and how RTC programs are changing the law. We'll explore questions around attorney supervision, how impact work and appeals can continue to be prioritized after tenant RTC is enacted, and how tenant RTC-related litigation is (or can) impact the body of law and practice of law in specific jurisdictions.
