About this organization
Mission

About
Legal Services - Clinical legal education. Eighty-six percent of the civil division's work (the larger part of the program) is in landlord-tenant and housing cases which include eviction defense, rent control, and subsidized housing grievances in both landlord and tenant court and before administrative tribunals. The civil division represents plaintiffs and defendants in small claims actions and in consumer protection issues. The criminal division serves adults in misdemeanor cases and juveniles in felony and misdemeanor cases. LSIC also monitors and provides public education to the community on landlord-tenant, civil and criminal law. By providing assistance and representation to indigent persons, we further the administration of justice in the local courts and D.C. agencies. Additionally, we assist the legal profession by participating in educational and mentoring programs for volunteer lawyers in the areas of housing, consumer and criminal law, and by referring clients to appropriate legal counsel.
