It provides confidential help to lawyers, judges, law students, and legal staff who suffer from substance use, mental health, or other problems, as well as to their families, colleagues, and organizations. LCL services include crisis response, intervention, short-term counseling, peer support, referrals to appropriate professionals and programs, and educational programming. Volunteers are an integral part of everything we do. They help us increase our effectiveness and maximize our resources. These services promote professional satisfaction and save lives, health, careers, relationships, and law firms. They help prevent malpractice, minimize losses to clients and the public, and improve the profession and its public image. LCL’s vital services are partially supported by funding administered through the Minnesota Supreme Court, but we rely on donations to carry out our mission to reach out and help law students and legal professionals and educate the legal community.
