Recovery Stories

As a law student, you may feel completely alone because of how competitive classes are. You may think that you can’t trust anyone. You can trust The Virginia Judges Lawyers Assistance Program. We want to help you find your ground again.

No matter what you are dealing with, whether it is a mental health issue or addiction, you do not have to face that alone. The earlier you seek help, the more successful treatment is.

Below are several stories from law students like you who felt debilitated by the pressures of law school and passing the bar. The good news is that each of these students got the help they needed and overcame what they thought was impossible.

We helped them, and we can help you too.
