Hurricane Katrina Honor Roll
A Spirit of Service in the Wake of Hurricane Katrina
The Association of American Law Schools 2010 Annual Meeting marked the first time that the AALS Annual Meeting was held in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina. That tragedy resulted in an outpouring of support from around the country and the world. Among the communities and individuals who responded so swiftly and effectively to that crisis were many AALS member and fee-paid schools, their faculties, staffs, and students. Immediate Past President Rachel F. Moran invited individual faculty members to nominate schools, individuals and programs for inclusion in this Honor Roll. The nominees should have contributed some action (other than the donation of money) to alleviate the suffering of those affected by Katrina.
What follows is the list of nominees submitted in time for inclusion in the display at the 2010 Annual Meeting, as well as nominees that have been submitted since then. Deans and Faculty may submit additional nominations throughout 2010, as the Hurricane Katrina Honor Roll is continuously updated.
When you read the following entries, I believe that you will agree with me that the legal academy should take great pride in the breadth and depth of its response to Hurricane Katrina, a response that continues to this day.
- Elizabeth Hayes Patterson, AALS Deputy Director
