The Humanitarian Aid Legal Organization (HALO) is a student organization that assists and raises awareness of underserved communities. Each year, we raise funds for a spring break legal aid trip, sending UC Davis law students to underserved areas to provide legal and other aid.
In 2011, we teamed up with the Mississippi Center for Justice and sent twenty students to Biloxi, MS to help support communities devastated by Hurricane Katrina, The BP Oil Crisis, and the economic downturn. Learn More.
In 2010, we partnered with the Legal Aid Society of Cleveland to send twenty-five law students to staff legal clinics in community centers throughout Cleveland, Ohio.Learn more.
In 2009, we struck out on our own, and sent seventeen law students to the chronically underserved city of East St. Louis, Illinois, where we provided legal aid and did other volunteer work. Learn more.
In 2008, we again partnered with the Student Hurricane Network and sent twenty-two law students to Biloxi, Mississippi. Learn more.
In 2007, we partnered with the Student Hurricane Network to send eleven law students to New Orleans, Louisiania to provide legal assistance to victims of Hurricane Katrina and Rita. Learn more.
