Despite the availability of this resource, JP Court Precinct 7, Place 2 does not implement it. Litigants are regularly told that the court and staff cannot offer assistance and are directed to shelters for help.
For seven years, JP Court Precinct 7, Place 2 has placed as many as 150 eviction cases into just two morning dockets. With only four hours available, each family’s case receives an average of 96 seconds—barely enough time to state a name, let alone present a defense.
In a court of law, no two cases are the same. Every person who appears deserves the time to be heard fully and treated with fairness, dignity, and respect. When hearings are rushed or individuals feel unheard, the integrity of the judicial process is diminished. Ensuring meaningful time for each case protects due process and strengthens trust in the court.
