What is LAAB? In 2006, after Hurricane Katrina, a group of USC
Law Students went to New Orleans over spring break to help out with the aftermath of the storm.
USC Law Students have been going to New Orleans every Spring Break to lend a hand doing either manual labor or legal work ever since.
Even though Katrina was six years ago, New Orleans is still feeling the effects. There is also a tremendous need in the city for legal services.
Plus, it is a killer place to spend Spring Break!
