The Commission on Lawyer Assistance Programs (CoLAP) has jurisdiction over matters relating to lawyer assistance programs as they provide professional assistance to lawyers, judges and law students who have alcohol and other substance use disorders and mental health issues. The Commission (1) supports and seeks to improve existing services, including diversity outreach, and, as appropriate, assists in the development of new lawyer assistance programs, (2) provides educational and training opportunities for lawyer assistance program staff and volunteers, the legal profession, the judiciary, law students, legal educators and the public, (3) disseminates information
to and creates and fosters platforms for communication among lawyer assistance program staff and volunteers, and (4) develops and advances policies that better enable lawyers and judges to obtain assistance and return to good health, protect the integrity of the legal profession and the judiciary and protect the public.
As the organized bar’s sole national entity dedicated to lawyer assistance, the Commission approaches its mission through several avenues. It produces an annual conference; provides extensive outreach; offers technical assistance; conducts and advances research; addresses the needs of specific populations; and advances policies designed to protect the public while helping lawyers in need of assistance.
