LACBA Launches Legal Resources Page to Support Los Angeles Fire Recovery Efforts

The road to recovery from the fires will be long for many. It’s crucial that LACBA maintain a sustained focus on providing resources and support to the impacted communities over the long term.”

LOS ANGELES , CA, UNITED STATES, January 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In response to the fires affecting Los Angeles County, the Los Angeles County Bar Association (LACBA) has launched an online library of legal resources to support impacted communities. This robust resource hub offers critical information, services, and opportunities to aid recovery efforts and provide long-term support.

LACBA’s Library of Legal Resources and Emergency Services Related to the Fires includes:
• Public Legal and General Information Resources: Direct assistance and support for individuals and families affected by the fires.
• Training and Volunteer Opportunities for Lawyers and Law Students: Ways for legal professionals to help, including FEMA training.
• Lawyer Referral, Legal Aid Clinica, and Workshops: Guidance on pressing legal issues faced by impacted communities, including property disputes, insurance claims, and employment rights.

Association members and sections are providing free webinars on key legal topics, which will be updated regularly on the resource page and the association’s calendar of events. LACBA has convened meetings with local and national bar associations, legal aid organizations, and other stakeholders to coordinate efforts and avoid duplication.

To further efforts, LACBA will host a follow-up meeting with bar associations and legal aid organizations later this month. The association encourages legal professionals and community members to visit the resource page, get involved, and support those affected by the fires.

About LACBA:
The Los Angeles County Bar Association (LACBA) is one of the largest voluntary metropolitan bar associations in the nation, dedicated to advancing the legal profession and providing vital services to the community.
