> The Lawyers' Earthquake Response Network (LERN) is a national  
> network of lawyers in the U.S. working with Haitian lawyers to  
> implement a legal response to the earthquake in Haiti. LERN employs  
> a human rights-based approach to advocate for the victims of the  
> earthquakes and reduce Haiti's vulnerability to future natural,  
> political and economic stresses. LERN projects include fighting for  
> safe housing, long-term, effective international assistance to  
> Haiti, and for immigration opportunities in the U.S. LERN will also  
> develop replicable models for international legal responses to large- 
> scale natural disasters.
>
> LERN is led by the U.S.-based Institute for Justice & Democracy in  
> Haiti (IJDH), and the Haiti-based public interest law firm, the  
> Bureau des Avocats Internationaux.
>
> Join the Network
>
> LERN was launched on January 17, 2010. Within the first two weeks,  
> over 250 lawyers, law professors and law students joined the network.
>
> LERN will provide overall coordination of projects through a  
> listserve and an interactive webpage. Individual projects will be  
> coordinated through project leaders, who will be leading experts in  
> the relevant field. Project leaders are still needed to focus in  
> particular on housing rights.
