Katrina Helping Handbook

 This Helping Handbook provides an overview of some of the legal issues facing individuals, families, and small businesses in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi as a result of Hurricane Katrina. This project was done in conjunction with the Center for Pro Bono, a project of the ABA Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Services. The ABA Center for Pro Bono has set up a website Hurricane Katrina Disaster Resource to assist those that have been impacted by the hurricanes..

We encourage fellow practitioners to build on this information in an effort to provide maximum pro bono legal support to those in need. There is no cost for using or copying these resources. However, reproduction or distribution of these materials for commercial purposes without prior written permission is strictly prohibited.

Please note: Because it is a large document, it may take several minutes for the Adobe Acrobat file to load.
