NC Magistrate Training for Small Claims Summary Ejectment
The School of Government and the North Carolina Judicial College have announced that
Melanie Crenshaw will be the lead faculty working with magistrates on the legal and practical aspects of their civil duties. She will specialize in small claims law and procedure, landlord tenant law and summary ejectment.
Last year the state legislature passed House Bill 27 which modified the training requirements for magistrates by requiring completion of an annual in-service training course, with a minimum of twelve hours of instruction - summary ejectment is included in the training.
