Operation Enduring LAMP

What is Operation Enduring LAMP?

Operation Enduring LAMP is an ongoing project of the ABA Standing Committee on Legal Assistance for Military Personnel.

It is a consortium of state and local bar associations that have made a commitment to recruit volunteer attorneys, and in many cases offer training and facilities to volunteers, in order to assist military legal assistance providers with civil law matters affecting service members.

Do you need legal assistance?

Please understand that different OpEnduring LAMP efforts across the country offer varying kinds and levels of service. It is important that, if you are seeking assistance, you should first contact the legal assistance officer assigned to your unit. Only after that inquiry should you get in touch with a local OpEnduring LAMP volunteer.

Mobilization readiness services are provided by your reserve unit. If you have specific questions about what legal services will be provided in relation to mobilization, please contact your respective chain of command and local legal assistance officers within that command. Both command and legal assistance officers are responsible for providing legal readiness support in a coordinated and comprehensive fashion. In the event that the legal assistance officers responsible for legal readiness issues require additional help in their efforts, they can communicate their needs to a local bar association OpEnduring LAMP effort, and they can request referrals to OpEnduring LAMP volunteers.
