Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares that litigants in cases in housing court parts, espe- cially in the state's major metropolitan areas, are often self-repre- sented. Under these circumstances, and especially because the stakes for the self-represented litigant in such cases can be so high, e.g., eviction from one's home, it is vital to the administration of justice that the judges in such parts take all necessary and appropriate steps to assure that self-represented litigants fully understand the proceedings in which they are involved, any claims or defenses they may have and the available options in light of those claims or defenses, and the potential consequences of any agreements they may be asked to make in the course of those proceedings. Accordingly, it is the intent of this act that no agreement between the parties to a proceeding in a housing court part wherein one or more of such parties are self-repre- sented may be approved by the court unless the judge presiding therein ascertains that the claims or defenses of each self-represented party are adequately addressed in the stipulation and that each self-repre- sented party understands the nature and consequences of such agreement; and the judge memorializes such inquiry on the record of the proceeding. In declaring this intent, the legislature further reminds all authori- ties responsible for designating the judges who preside in housing courts parts of the importance of selecting or reappointing judges who EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
