In 2008, HALO renewed its commitment to rebuilding the legal system in the Gulf Coast, again partnering with the Student Hurricane Network to send twenty-two UC Davis law students to Biloxi, Mississippi. In Biloxi, HALO members worked with the Mississippi Center for Justice, a non-profit public interest law firm that operates in conjunction with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. They also worked with Restoration Point, an organization that helps rebuild homes as part of a comprehensive disaster response.
The slides from our presentation on the trip are available here.
