| Substance Abuse in Law Schools: A Tool Kit for Law School Administrators | |

The problem of substance abuse in American law schools is an important issue deserving the attention of legal educators. The quality of professional legal services is affected by attorneys who are impaired as a result of the abuse of alcohol or other drugs. The seeds of substance abuse by lawyers may be sown during their law school years. In recognition of this problem, the Special Committee on Problems of Substance Abuse in the Law Schools was established by the AALS Executive Committee in the spring of 1990.

Annotated Bibliography (.pdf - 174K) - Planning Guide for Designing and Implementing Lawyer Recovery Monitoring Programs
The Model Recovery Monitoring Program was developed by representatives from committees within the ABA Center for Professional Responsibility and lawyer assistance programs across the United States and Canada and was finalized in the Fall of 1998. This Model provides basic guidelines for use by disciplinary and licensing agencies when they consider placing a lawyer on some form of probation. These guidelines are designed to facilitate effective monitoring of sobriety in the real world. The Model identifies those elements common to all successful Monitoring programs and stresses that sobriety monitors are not to be involved in the recovery program of lawyers being monitored.
