Lessons from Eviction Court goes behind the disturbing statistics of evictions and homelessness to provide the first-hand experience of a lawyer who is in eviction court each week, standing alongside people who are losing their homes. Fran Quigley provides a clear and emphatic prescription for how we can end evictions and homelessness in the United States, with the stories of struggling clients serving as the introduction for discussions of the reforms needed. Homelessness does not need to happen, nor do widespread evictions. They do not occur in other nations like in ours, and they did not used to not be the norm here in the US. Lessons from Eviction Court explains how we can end this national crisis.
Fran Quigley is the Director of the Health and Human Rights Clinic at the Indiana University McKinney School of Law. He advocates for the human right to housing, defending people facing eviction, and promoting policies that ensure all people have a safe, affordable home. He is the author of Prescription for the People and Religious Socialism.
