For Students in Recovery

The ABA Commission on Lawyer Assistance Programs (CoLAP) has created a confidential e-mail listserv for law students who want to get, or stay, clean and sober while in law school. This is a chance for students to connect with and ask questions of their law student peers throughout the United States, and share their experience, strength and hope. To be added, interested law students should email CoLAP's director Donna Spilis at spilisd@staff.abanet.org. Students should be prepared to talk a bit about their history and about their need and desire to communicate with other law students facing similar challenges. Ms. Spilis will make the final determination to add the student to the listserv and will provide each student with the rules and regulations regarding use of the listserv. When a student graduates and is admitted to the bar, s/he will be removed from the listserv.
