About Us

 

The Humanitarian Aid Legal Organization of UC Davis School of Law will be working with the Student Hurricane Network (“SHN”)

a non-profit, student-organized network of law students dedicated to assisting and solving the legal problems created by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.  Since December 2005, SHN has helped send almost 3,000 law students from over 90 schools to the Gulf Coast. Once the students reach the area,  SHN pairs them with local legal agencies and law firms to provide free legal aid to residents.

 

HALO members consist of first-year and second law students.  Last year, HALO sent 11 UC Davis law students to New Orleans to work with the SHN.  This year, HALO is renewing its commitment to rebuilding the legal system in the Gulf Coast.  HALO will send 22 UC Davis law students to Biloxi, Mississippi.
