Legal Industry Suffers Major Blow
NEW YORK (AP) - Nearly one-fifth of New York City's lawyers have been
unable
to return to their offices since the attack on the World Trade Center, and
reams
of legal documents - from death penalty appeals to white-collar
investigations -
may be lost or destroyed.
. . .
All told, some 14,000 lawyers have lost or been blocked from their offices,
said Frank Ciervo, spokesman
for the New York State Bar Association. That is about 18 percent of the
city's 76,000 lawyers.
