YLS Coordinates Disaster Relief The Young Lawyers Section Committee on Disaster Relief was calied into action after the disastrous weather that struck our state in December. Chairmen Ed Tarvin of Little Rock and John Moore of Mountain Home coordinated activities in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency in rendering legal advice to those persons stricken by the flooding and tornadoes. The legal advice was given to those who were eligibie by federal guidelines for free legal services, and was limited to non-fee generating cases. Area coordinators in each of the judicial districts in the state where damage occurred were contacted to provide assistance to the Federal Emergency Management Agency staff working in their area. chines.
