Our Goals
The goals of this new permanent for national disaster legal aid resources are:
- To serve as a centralized national resource for legal aid, pro bono and criminal defender attorneys across the country on legal issues related to all types of disasters,
- To recruit and help mobilize pro bono attorneys in the aftermath of a disaster, and
- To provide accurate and timely information on legal issues related to disasters to the low and moderate income public.
