Professor Quigley Discusses Latest Book on Indiana Lawyer Podcast
07/25/2025
IU McKinney Professor Fran Quigley, J.D. ’87, is a guest on Indiana Lawyer’s podcast. Professor Quigley discusses the state’s eviction rates and how he and his students are trying to assist low-income tenants.
Quigley teaches in the Housing Health and Human Rights Clinic at IU McKinney. He is the author of Lessons from Eviction Court: How We Fix Our Housing Crisis.
Published by Cornell University Press, Professor Quigley’s book contends that evictions and homelessness do not need to happen. In fact, the United States is the only nation of its kind where such a high number of families are evicted from their homes and have nowhere to turn for housing.
IU McKinney’s Housing, Health, and Human Rights Clinic students advocate for the rights of the poor, with a focus on individual and systemic barriers to accessing healthcare and the social determinants of health. Professor Quigley is the author of several academic journal articles on social justice and human rights, multiple mass media articles and columns, and five books including this most recent work. Prior to his work at the law school, he served as the first Chief of Staff for Congresswoman Julia Carson and as the executive director of ACLU of Indiana. He edits the newsletter Housing is a Human Right.
