Flood Proof Project
The purpose of the Project is to increase access to civil legal help for low-income disaster victims to resolve heir property problems and home ownership disputes in the wake of Louisiana’s catastrophic flooding in August 2016. This partnership project is designed to meet the continued demand for heirship and property title work by disaster survivors. Southeast Louisiana Legal Services, LSU’s Paul M. Hebert Law School, Southern University Law Center, ABA Center for Innovation, and Louisiana State Bar Association’s Legal Innovators for Tomorrow (LIFT) Incubator have partnered to offer two law firms the opportunity to develop and a law practice that addresses the need for disaster-related legal services. The attorneys in the program will develop their practices in a supported and collaborative environment.
