Faculty, Students and Alums Help Rebuild Louisiana Justice System
November 07, 2006
By getting underway immediately following finals, arriving in New Orleans around December 14th, Pacific McGeorge will be the first group to participate in this effort, largely getting underway in spring 2007. Thus, according to Dean Fait, the Pacific McGeorge group will likely be assigned to New Orleans, rather than to other areas on the Gulf Coast devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The Pacific McGeorge team will receive its Orientation on December 15th and will address client needs from then through December 22nd. As valuable as this initiative is, there is no funding available from Tulane or from Louisiana available to support it. Thus, participating faculty, students and alums must provide their own funding, with costs expected to be approximately $1,500/person (including airfare, food and lodging). Alumni and friends who may be unable to participate are encouraged to consider providing funding participation by one or more students. To make a secure online gift to support sending one or more students, press here, or you may send a check (to McGeorge School of Law) to: University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law For additional information, please contact Associate Dean Glenn Fait at gfait@pacific.edu or 916-739-7342. |
Members of the Pacific McGeorge community will spend their winter holiday helping to rebuild the justice system of Louisiana, which was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. The project is a cooperative effort with Tulane University Law School in New Orleans. Tulane faculty will provide complete orientation.
