For Employers
Indiana Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program (JLAP)
JLAP is a free, confidential program of the Indiana Supreme Court that supports judges, lawyers, and law students dealing with substance use, mental health, cognitive decline, or other impairments that affect law practice. For law-firm employers, JLAP offers confidential consultations, intervention support when a partner or associate is struggling, free educational programming on lawyer well-being and substance use (qualifies for Indiana Ethics CLE credit), and a 24/7 helpline. Communications with JLAP are protected under Indiana Admission and Discipline Rule 31. Critically important for HC's small law firms where one impaired partner can put the entire practice at risk.
