Hurricane Florence- legal assistance update

Thanks to our amazing team of law students in just a few days we will have updated the 20 pages of resource links in the SC Bar Disaster Resource Manual. This will make it not only easier for lawyers to respond to questions from the victims but also to provide them with the latest and most effective assistance. Many times the calls to the Disaster Legal Assistance Hotline are not about a legal issue but about access to services.

This is what lawyers to best and as students you are part of this team!

Before the JD Research Results

AALS (the Association of American Law Schools) conducted extensive research into why and when people decide to go to law school. The results are interesting and worth noting. A relative is considered the most important motivator in making the decision to go to law school and public service opportunities is a major reason for becoming a lawyer!

Think back to your decision time!  What were you thinking?
