Mission of LRAP 

LRAP is a nonprofit organization with a mission to ensure that low-income and disadvantaged populations have access to competent counsel. LRAP works to achieve this mission by helping new attorneys who would like to enter into public interest law scale the barrier posed by high education debt and low salaries. In addition, LRAP works to enhance the quality of legal services delivered to these populations by permitting recipients to renew their assistance for up to fifteen years.

History of LRAP 

LRAP was formed in 1991 through the joint efforts of students at Minnesota's then three law schools, the Minnesota Justice Foundation and the Minnesota State Bar Association.  Current support from these bodies, as well as district bar associations, firms, and individuals allows LRAP to make assistance available.
