Legal Action Group (LAG) is holding a one-day conference on housing law, taking place on Thursday 13 June at University College London. With a welcome from LAG director Carol Storer, the day will feature updates on topics including homelessness, possession proceedings, and Grenfell Tower, as well as masterclasses on housing and immigration advice, domestic violence, and representing vulnerable people. The conference will end with a panel discussion on whether we have an enshrined right to housing, and stories from the frontline of housing law. Tickets for the event can be purchased here.
