WASHINGTON,
DC, September 26, 2005 - Tens of thousands of Gulf Coast residents face
devastating legal problems as they struggle to rebuild their lives in the wake
of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, but many people cannot afford and do not know
where to get the legal assistance they need. To help address this problem, four
national allies in the legal aid and public defender communities have launched
"Katrina Legal Aid Resource Center," a Web-based clearinghouse of legal aid, pro
bono and public defender information for persons affected by the hurricanes and
the lawyers and advocates helping them. Katrina Legal Aid Resource Center,
located at www.katrinalegalaid.org,
is the result of a partnership among the American Bar Association (ABA), Legal
Services Corporation (LSC), National Legal Aid & Defender Association (NLADA)
and Pro Bono Net.
