The New York State Bar Association Lawyer
Assistance Program (LAP) provides education and confidential assistance
to lawyers, judges, law school students, and immediate family members

identification and intervention of problems that can affect professional
conduct and quality of life.
• Early identification of impairment. • Intervention and motivation of impaired attorneys to seek help. • Assessment, evaluation and development of an appropriate treatment plan. • Referral of impaired attorneys to community resources, self-help groups, outpatient counseling, detoxification and rehabilitation services. • Information and referral for depression. • Training programs on alcoholism, drug abuse and stress management.
All LAP services are confidential and protected under Section 499 of the Judiciary Law as amended by Chapter 327 of the Laws of 1993. LAP BrochureLawyer Assistance Program Flyer
