I have a number of questions about Housing Court and procedures. I plan to hire an Attorney down the line but really want to educate myself so that I understand what I am getting into.
Please answer whichever questions you have answers for. I appreciate any and all help.
Thank you.
1) If I want to observe trial cases in Housing Court, how do I find out when and where the cases are being heard?
2) Where can I research previous cases and decisions for cases in Manhattan?
3) Can someone explain an Order to Produce Documents and when it is presented in a case?
4) Are there any organizations that hold free seminars about Housing Laws or which answer questions about Housing Court Procedures?
5) How do I get transcripts of my previous appearances in Housing Court and copies of previous Stipulations?
6) Is there a simple recourse for the Tenant when the LL doesn't comply with the terms of a Stipulation?
7) Is there a Law Library in Manhattan that allows non-Attorneys or law students to do research?
Thank you again.
