From our friends at the Puerto Rican Bar Association:
New York, New York – The Puerto Rican Bar Association has obtained the support of various law schools in New York and Florida and others throughout the United States, including Albany Law School, Touro Law School, University of Florida, Barry University, University of Pittsburgh Law school to accept law students from the three law schools in Puerto Rico, University of Puerto Rico Law School, Interamerican University Law School and Catholic University of Puerto Rico Law School. “The law students have been severely affected by the devastation of hurricane Maria and we want to ensure that their legal education will not be interrupted during these trying times.” Carmen A. Pacheco, Esq., PRBA President. We commend the many law schools quickly organizing and responding to the needs of affected law students. We are currently assisting the Dean of the UPR Law School with placing 33 law students". Betty Lugo, Esq., PRBA Judiciary Chair and Anthony Suarez, President, PRBA FL
We are asking law schools throughout the country to similarly join us in this initiative. Please contact us at [email protected] for more information.
