Welcome From Our Chancellor
The Joseph Baker Paralegal School of Law was established with a clear and focused purpose: to strengthen the real‑estate industry by advancing the study and practice of procedural justice within the eviction system. In a housing market where civil courts move faster than ever and where procedural outcomes directly affect investor stability, portfolio performance, and community housing supply, the need for accurate, data‑driven insight has never been more urgent.
Our institution is committed to producing research and training that illuminate the realities of eviction procedure with clarity, precision, and integrity. Through the analysis of more than 8,000 cases, thousands of litigants, and extensive statewide advisory work, we provide a level of procedural understanding that is not available through any public system, landlord association, or administrative record. Our work is grounded in lived courtroom experience, operational observation, and a disciplined methodology designed to support real‑estate investors, property managers, attorneys, lenders, and housing‑sector decision‑makers.
As Chancellor, I affirm our dedication to serving as a trusted partner to the professionals who carry the financial and procedural risk in the eviction ecosystem. We believe that procedural literacy is foundational to investor protection, and that empirical insight is essential to effective property‑management strategy, legal practice, and asset‑risk mitigation. Our research strengthens investor operations, supports legal teams, informs lenders, and equips housing providers with the information necessary to navigate the eviction system with confidence.
We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with investors, management companies, law firms, and financial institutions that share our commitment to clarity, consistency, and modernization. Together, we can build systems that reflect the highest standards of transparency, operational efficiency, and respect for the communities and portfolios they serve.
