Caring for a loved one who is aging, ill, or has a disability can be time-consuming, exhausting, and challenging, particularly when you are trying to balance it with the challenges of family and a legal career. You are not alone. JLAP, the Indiana Judge’s and Lawyer’s Assistance Program, offers a support group for judges, lawyers, and law students managing the care of a loved one.

Because of the sensitive nature of mental health and substance use issues, law students, attorneys, or judges who need help—or want to assist someone else who might need help—are often reluctant to seek assistance. Recognizing this concern, and in order to foster early and confidential contact, the Indiana Supreme Court authorized the creation of JLAP with the passage of Rule 31 of the Indiana Rules on Admission to the Bar and Discipline of Attorneys.
