Posted By Scott Vignos, Mar 24, 2011
The Humanitarian Aid Legal Organization (HALO) is a student-founded organization committed to providing humanitarian and legal aid to communities where the access to this aid is severely lacking or in a state of crisis. The organization focus not only on offering a week of energy, passion, and legal knowledge, but also on raising awareness about often overlooked communities across the country. Each year, the organization raise funds for a spring break legal aid trip, sending UC Davis law students to underserved areas to provide legal and other aid. In 2010, HALO partnered with the Legal Aid Society of Cleveland to send twenty-five law students to staff legal clinics in community centers throughout Cleveland, Ohio. For Spring Break 2011, HALO traveled to Biloxi, Miss. and has been busy working at the Mississippi Center for Justice. The group has been documenting their work on their blog.
