Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
Abstract
On October 28-29, 2004, the Justice Center of the New York County Lawyers' Association (NYCLA), chaired by former Dean of Fordham University School of Law, John Feerick, hosted a conference on the New York City Housing Court, "The New York City Housing Court in the Twenty-First Century: Can It Better Address the Problems Before It?" (the "Conference"). The Conference, occasioned by the court's 30th anniversary, considered how the Housing Court is facing the challenges of the new century, in light of ever-changing social and economic conditions, and whether it is well prepared to meet these challenges in the coming decades. The Conference examined the court's role in responding not only to the legal questions that come before it, such as housing conditions, holdovers, and nonpayment of rent, but also to the myriad social and financial problems that underlie many Housing Court cases-problems that, if unaddressed, may lead to homelessness.
