Housing Mediation Clinic

The Housing Mediation Clinic is part of an innovative California Housing Court project funded by the 2009 Sargent Shriver Civil Counsel Act. The Clinic provides free housing mediation services for landlord/tenant disputes where at least one party qualifies for pro bono representation. Mediation is becoming an increasingly important skill for lawyers to have, and Pacific McGeorge law students have an invaluable experiential learning opportunity to conduct mediations.

Clinic students learn about landlord/tenant law and mediate landlord/tenant cases under the joint supervision of Clinic Director Dorothy Landsberg and Pauline Nguyen, an experienced mediator hired under the Shriver Act grant.
