Equity in Justice Course Spotlight
A Step Toward Solving the Housing Crisis: Eviction Records Sealing in New Mexico
Oct. 17, Webinar
Noon - 1 p.m.
1.0 EIJ
This session will trace the systemic inequities embedded in the history and development of eviction proceedings to help contextualize an ongoing issue contributing to the housing crisis in New Mexico: an eviction judgment currently remains on a tenant’s record for life. It will then look at how legislation aimed at sealing eviction records can help solve this problem and benefit both tenants and landlords by providing landlords with accurate and transparent information about the tenants they rent to while ensuring access to justice and future housing options for tenants who have faced eviction. The session will also discuss best practices for eviction sealing legislation that can be employed in New Mexico by drawing on conversations with advocates, legislators, and practitioners from states that have recently enacted such legislation.

The New Mexico Lawyer Assistance Program (NM LAP)
Did You Know?
Hydration isn't just about drinking water! In fact, 20% of your fluids come from water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and even soups. While we've all heard that we need eight glasses of water a day, the truth is that your hydration needs vary based on your body weight, physical activity, diet, and environment.
Did you also know it's possible to drink too much water? Overhydration can lead to a rare but serious condition called hyponatremia, where the body’s sodium levels drop dangerously low. It’s a reminder that balance is key to staying healthy! To find out what’s right for you, learn more here.
