NLADA Establishes "Helping Hands: The Equal Justice Colleagues" Support Fund
WASHINGTON, DC, September 16, 2005 - NLADA is pleased to announce the establishment of "Helping Hands: The Equal Justice Colleagues' Support Fund" to provide financial assistance to staff in legal aid and public defender offices who have suffered direct and significant personal loss as a result of Hurricane Katrina. The NLADA Insurance Program, continuing its mission of investing in the equal justice community, is making an initial contribution of $10,000 to the fund, which is intended to aid the staff members whose lives have been most impacted.
"Many of the people who have suffered tragedies beyond comprehension are low-income clients whose needs for legal assistance have only escalated in the wake of Katrina," said Jo-Ann Wallace, NLADA president and CEO. "NLADA is actively engaged in supporting the much needed client relief efforts taking place. Yet, a large number of civil legal aid and public defender colleagues have suffered difficult personal losses as well."
