The National Bar Association is creating a database of attorneys for residents seeking legal help in the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill.

The group announced last week that its attorney database will be posted on its Web site.

The oil spill already has spawned hundreds of lawsuits and many more claims by individuals and businesses.

The bar association held its 85th annual conference in New Orleans last week.

Last Tuesday” session included a panel discussion marking the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. It included remarks by retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, a Louisiana native who was credited with helping restore order in New Orleans after the storm.
