The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) began the second three-year cycle of its Pilot Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP), bringing much needed assistance to civil legal aid lawyers.

Civil legal aid lawyers earn median entry-level salaries around $40,000 a year, according to NALP’s recent study.  LSC’s Pilot LRAP will provide 42 civil legal aid attorneys in 22 LSC-funded programs $5,600 a year for three years to help repay their law school loans. See the LSC newsletter for more information.
