Law Firms, Courts and Schools Struggle to Cope in Sandy's Wake

UNITED STATES - East Coast legal communities were mopping up Tuesday as they coped with the aftereffects of "superstorm" Sandy.

 
Power outages, mass transit shutdowns, and wind and water damage meant a second day on hiatus or working off-site for many attorneys, judges and students in the storm's path.
 
While most firms and courts were bouncing back in Boston, courts in four other states remained closed, and businesses in lower Manhattan and parts of New Jersey were especially hard hit by floodwaters and related damage.
 
Said one attorney who was working remotely, "We all have deadlines and are coping as well as we can."
