law schools joining the Hurricane Katrina relief effort
I've read and heard quite a bit about what law firms and law schools are doing to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. I was very heartened to receive news of this pledge of assistance from my alma mater, Fordham Law School. From a follow-up e-mail, I've learned that Fordham has admitted 25 law students from Loyola and Tulane and will not charge them tuition or fees. The e-mail additionally reports that the law school is "offering to provide work space and communications support to Tulane and Loyola law faculty and administrators, and is discussing ways to provide assistance to victims through public service and pro bono projects when the situation stabilizes and such efforts are appropriate." I think this is a shining example of how a law school community can come together in the service of others and for the greater good.
