Featured Story

Legal Services CorporationThe 2012 Application Loan Cycle for the Legal Service Corporation's (LSC) Herbert S. Garten Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) will open on Wednesday February 1, 2012 and this year’s deadline for application submissions will be Monday February 27, 2012 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time.

Through the LRAP, established in 2005 and funded by a Congressional appropriation, LSC makes a limited number of forgivable loans to attorneys employed by its grantee programs to help repay law school debt. The goals of the LRAP are to help LSC grantee programs recruit and retain highly qualified attorneys, and to promote the development of initiatives that make public interest law a viable career path for law school graduates.

Discussion Groups and Collaboration

E-mail discussion groups have been set up in the many areas of the law. These groups are a great way to keep up with things and interact with your colleagues. You can discuss recent developments in the law, ask and answer questions, or just read the postings of others to learn about the issues people are working on.
