We promote health and wellness. The Arkansas Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program, JLAP, created by the Arkansas Supreme Court in 2000, provides mental health and substance abuse services to Arkansasβ judges, lawyers, and their family members. JLAP can help address problems before they jeopardize a lawyerβs practice, a judgeβs career, or a family memberβs health. We understand that addiction and
behavioral problems reach far beyond the workplace; thus we strive to provide assistance before and ethical violations, malpractice claims, disciplinary actions arise or family and personal relations are put at risk. The Mission of JLAP
To protect the interests of clients, litigants, and the general public from harm caused by impaired lawyers or judges;
To assist impaired members of the legal profession to begin and continue recovery; and
To educate the bench and the bar to the causes of and remedies for impairments affecting members of the legal profession.
