What is important if you are faced with a condition in which a disaster came, let’s say storm, such as Katrina storm? Hearing this kind of question, people may answer differently. Some of them may answer house, some other may give meals as their answers, while some other will answer different thing. All of the answers are true, but one important thing is missing there. One thing that disaster victim, such as Katrina victim, needs is legal assistance.
Why I said so? Legal assistance is useful to get our rights that lose after the disaster, for example of our belongings that the disaster harmed. This is also what is recently done by Mayer Brown Chicago. This firm company recently gives so helpful aid for the Katrina victims and refugee to get all of their rights as disaster victims. Cooperating with Texas Equal Access to Justice Foundation, Mayer Brown Chicago makes great effort to help all victims gets a better condition by trying to give free legal assistance to them. For the last 3 years, this kind of aid is hard to do since there is a wide gap between the free legal needs and the resources.
Fortunately, through the program named Lend-A-Lawyer, conducted by Mayer Brown Chicago and Texas Equal Access to Justice Foundation, free legal assistance giving to all disaster’s victims is getting easier to do. By giving some kinds of scholarship for all lawyers and students majoring law to complete their education and work stuff in some colleges and companies, Lend-A-Lawyer program has successfully produced qualified and certified lawyer and as the result is free legal assistances which the victims need.
