LAP is asking for your financial support to continue to provide quality care and services due to the Increasing Needs of the Legal Profession
Legal professionals were struggling before the pandemic arrived and now are facing additional stressors, financial hardships, and increased mental health and substance use problems. We are asking the legal community to financially support LAP and its mission, so that LAP can continue to expand its services throughout the State to Judges, Lawyers and Law Students.
Attorneys, judges, and law students are three times more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, chronic stress, suicidal thoughts, alcohol or drug misuse compared to the general public. LAP’s expert clinical team provides quality care to all legal professionals while facing the ongoing challenges of the pandemic, saving lives, careers and the dignity of legal professionals. LAP is asking you to support our role in the health and wellness of all lawyers, judges, and law students in Illinois. Please view this LINK.

FREE Virtual Seminar - 1.5 Illinois CLE hours - pending approval
The Chicago 7 Trial was one of the most famous, and infamous, trials ever to take place in a Chicago courtroom. Now, 50 years after the verdict, and days after the release of a new blockbuster film on Netflix, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the Federal Bar Association-Chicago Chapter, and the Seventh Circuit Bar Association are proud to present a conversation with the last living member of either trial team- former Assistant United States Attorney Dick Schultz. U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin and U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Cole interview Mr. Schultz as he takes us through all of the hard-to-believe moments of one of the most talked about trials in American history.
