Discover how Maryland’s Access to Counsel in Evictions (ACE) program is transforming Rent Court — and how you can be part of the impact.
This training equips lawyers, paralegals, and law students with the foundational knowledge needed before observing a Rent Court docket or volunteering in a non‑legal support role at PBRC’s ACE clinics. Participants will learn how Rent Court operates, what tenants experience when facing eviction, and how PBRC delivers on-the-ground counsel through staffed Rent Court clinics. By observing a docket and volunteering in non‑legal support roles, you can help ACE attorneys manage clinic flow, gather documents, assist with intake, and ensure tenants receive timely, high‑quality legal help. Whether you’re exploring housing law, deepening courtroom experience, or seeking meaningful pro bono engagement, this training prepares you to support Maryland’s fight for housing stability.
This training is open to Maryland-barred attorneys, law students, and paralegals in exchange for a commitment to observe one rent court clinic (3 hours).
The Tenant Justice Program is supported by grant awards from the Maryland Legal Services Corporation (MLSC), Wells Fargo and the Krieger Fund.
