Brooklyn Bar Association Foundation Law Committee reaches out to public on landlord and tenant law
The Brooklyn Bar Association’s (BBA) Foundation Law Committee hosted a free and public event on Monday titled “Landlord Tenant Law: Know Your Rights,” where attorneys gave a presentation on landlord and tenant proceedings at the Brooklyn Bar Association headquarters.
The event was co-sponsored by the Volunteer Lawyers Project and the BBA’s Lawyer Referral Service. It was moderated by Fern J. Finkel, the chair of the Foundation Law Committee; and featured Jimmy Lathrop, a prominent landlord tenant attorney in Brooklyn; and Raniece Medley, of the Source of Income Discrimination Unit.
“This is an event that the Foundation Law Committee hosts as a way to give back to the community,” Finkel said. “It’s just for goodwill, a way to inform people of their rights, and it is exciting to see that we have such a good turnout.”
