Katrina-related legal info - A Katrina manual for attorneys and other information

By A.J. Levy

The Louisiana State Bar Association site (www.lsba.org) has a variety of information for attorneys. Part of that information, which is open to the public, includes a training manual for attorneys:

“Emergency Disaster Training Manual for Louisiana Lawyers. http://www.lsba.org/home1/trainingmanual.asp
“Use this manual to help persons affected by Hurricane Katrina
“This manual has important information about how lawyers can assist persons affected by Hurricane Katrina.”

Although it is for Louisiana attorneys, the manual may also be helpful for non-Louisiana lawyers since some of the information applies to issues that are not related to Louisiana law.

The site also has links to Florida, Texas and ABA sites that have Katrina-related information for non-Louisiana attorneys.

In addition, the site also includes information on how attorneys can get involved doing pro bono Katrina work.
