Today in History (1862) - The U.S. government forbids all Union army officers from returning fugitive slaves, thus effectively annulling the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 and setting the stage for the Emancipation Proclamation. On the same day in 1865, the Confederate Congress voted to enlist 300,000 black troops, granting them freedom with the consent of their owners. Lee surrendered a few weeks later. |
Echoing PG's desire to pass along information, I want to use this post to list law schools that are currently offering to take in Tulane and Loyola 3Ls along with the relevant contact information. If your school has announced their willingness to take in students, please link it in the comments and I will add it to the main post.
Also, I cannot urge students, professors, etc. enough to help get the 3Ls TO the law schools and beyond.

Hi, just came across your blog. I enjoyed it ...most informative.
I've been reviewing other legal blogs and I book marking the standouts.
Well, needless to say, I have bookmarked your blawg.
I also write a blawg. Actually, it's more of a collection of Internet Tech tips/observations to inform legal web site owners how to achieve improved search engine standings while avoiding the many Internet scams.
My blawg legal advice library site is still very much a work in progress. My legal directory San Diego attorneys site is the flagship of our 15 legal directory sites that cover California, Texas and Las Vegas.
Please visit and check them out if you have the time
MORE IMPORTANTLY . . .I have been watching the news about Hurricane Katrina as I am sure you have been too. My heart goes out to these people and I pray they get the assistance they need as fast as humanly possible.
What makes me sick are the emails I have been receiving over the past few days from people "claiming" to help. Maybe they are sincere maybe not. I don't know.
