Aligned Work
In 2025, the Milwaukee Justice Center acquired Mediate Milwaukee’s pre-filing mediation project to expand its offerings even more, creating a “one-stop shop” for landlords and tenants to receive resources and mediation options at any point in a disagreement. This program provides free pre- and post-filing mediation for eviction cases in-person and remotely, creating a less expensive, more approachable space for landlords and tenants to resolve their disputes outside of the court system. Mediation not only prevents evictions and solves disputes happening now, but it also prevents future disputes by empowering tenants and landlords to resolve disputes thoughtfully and develop practical, mutually beneficial solutions.
