Loan Repayment Assistance Programs

A survey in 2005 by Equal Justice Works, an advocate for programs encouraging public service legal careers, found that only 18 of 100 law schools with LRAP programs were assisting 20 or more graduates in public service jobs. About half of the nation's law schools have no loan assistance program for graduates in public service, and, aside from a few elite schools, the programs are "typically, not very generous," said Heather Jarvis, manager of Equal Justice Works' law school advocacy program.
