As Hurricane Shuts Down Houston, Law Schools and Firms Respond
Students and faculty at South Texas College of Law-Houston — and Houston’s legal community at large — have bonded in response to the overwhelming humanitarian need created by the storm, reports Bloomberg Law.
“Law firm partners have opened their houses to clients and associates, according to Gibson Dunn staff. Firms that are fiercely competitive in the court room have banded together to determine how to effectively provide legal services, explained a partner at Holland & Knight,” writes Max Siegelbaum. ” And members of the legal community — from law students to big law partners — have donated time, energy and resources to helping to house, clothe and feed people displaced by the storm. Big Law Business heard from 15 people during Monday and Tuesday following the disaster.”
