Asked Michigan Courts to Give Tenants a Resource Sheet With Every Eviction Summons

The Court declined our 2017 request — then adopted it anyway during the pandemic.

Despite support from a wide coalition, the Court declined. Then the pandemic hit, and the Court adopted an interim order requiring courts to do exactly that. Some ideas just take time to marinate.
