A number of law firms and law schools in Louisiana said all their employees were safe after Hurricane Gustav, but didn’t expect offices to reopen until later this week or next week.
Gustav ripped through Louisiana on Monday as a Category 2 hurricane, leading to an evacuation of about 2 million people and to hundreds of thousands of residences without power. But without the strength of 2005′s Hurricane Katrina and with lessons learned from that storm, the legal system seemed to be functioning better this time around.
