Mich. Admin. Ord. Administrative Order No. 1973-1
It appearing to the Court that there is sufficient necessity to furnish legal aid, on a case-to-case basis, to litigants in summary proceeding actions commenced in the Landlord-Tenant Division of Common Pleas Court and that existing standards of indigency preclude eligibility of said litigants for legal assistance, now therefore it is ordered, effective from date of this order until further order of the Court, that all parties in summary proceeding actions who cannot afford an attorney in the proceedings shall be eligible for legal assistance from the legal aid clinics in the nature and manner administered under GCR 1963, 921; Provided however, that no plaintiff shall qualify for said services if he has a monetary interest in more than one income unit of real property.
