All It Takes Is One To Make Justice Happen

San Antonio lawyer Edward M. Lavin read an article about the IOLTA funding crisis and decided to do something about it.  He promptly sent the Foundation a donation of $200 and challenges all Texas lawyers to do the same thing.  All it takes is one lawyer at a time to make justice happen.

 

Texas Student Loan Repayment Assistance Program

The Texas Access to Justice Foundation administers the Texas Student Loan Repayment Assistance Program (SLRAP). The Texas Access to Justice Commission created the program in 2002 to assist attorneys who choose to pursue careers in legal aid in Texas. Low salaries coupled with high student loan debt make it difficult or impossible for lawyers to accept employment at legal aid or stay in those jobs long term. The Texas SLRAP is a critical part of increasing access to justice for low income individuals.

State Bar of Texas Dues Statement

Each year, attorneys have the option to donate $150 or more when paying their State Bar of Texas dues. Dues statements are typically mailed in early May. Please consider making this donation to help legal aid organizations provide legal assistance to low-income Texans.
