From Times Wire Reports
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.
It is unclear how many lawyers were among the dead and injured in the attack.
Tenants that have been displaced include the U.S. attorney’s office, the Legal Aid Society, the state attorney general’s office, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s enforcement office and many private firms.
