Hundreds of NYC-Area Lawyers Volunteering to Assist Puerto Rico
“The New York City office of LatinoJustice is sending lawyers on a fact-finding mission to Puerto Rico next week in advance of a larger effort to dispatch hundreds of lawyers to help residents file insurance claims, seek disaster assistance and get compensated for lost wages following Hurricane Maria….A working group has been formed in Puerto Rico to lead the effort. It includes the clinics and pro bono student groups from all three law schools, the Puerto Rico Bar Association and the Civil Rights Commission. In the United States, LatinoJustice PRLDEF, ProBono.net, the Louisiana Civil Justice Center, Columbia University Law School’s Pro Bono student group and the NYC Bar Association are participating.”
