Description:

We're kicking off our new Cambridge meeting series with a unique opportunity for landlords! The Honorable Tim Sullivan, Chief Justice of the Housing Court, will be presenting on the ins-and-outs of housing court, housing initiatives, and the modernization of the courts.

The Chief Justice wants suggestions for improvement. So whether you've been itching to ask an eviction question or call attention to unfairness all polite contributions will be taken from the audience. This is one not to miss!

As an attorney, Timothy F. Sullivan operated a general practice of law, with a focus on land use, estate administration, real estate conveyancing, and landlord-tenant law. He also served as a volunteer conciliator through the Essex County Bar Association, assisting in the resolution of landlord- tenant cases at Lynn District Court. Last October, Trial Court Chief Justice Paula Carey named him to his current position as Housing Court Chief.

"Chief Justice Sullivan has earned a reputation with his colleagues for being accessible, approachable and receptive to addressing diverse concerns."- Trial Court Chief Justice Paula Carey
