Resources
Mentoring and Professional Guidance
Structured mentoring connects new lawyers with experienced practitioners who understand both the challenges and opportunities of serving in small communities. Through one-on-one guidance, practical advice, and ongoing professional support, mentors help new attorneys develop strong habits, build confidence, and establish sustainable practices that meet the needs of local residents.
Incubator Support
Our incubator resources provide the foundational tools needed for lawyers to start and grow successful practices in underserved areas. These supports include access to practice management programs, business planning templates, budgeting and organizational tools, technology recommendations, and continuing legal education opportunities. Together, they create a strong framework that helps new attorneys operate efficiently and effectively from day one.
Data and Research
Understanding the realities of legal deserts is essential to addressing them. We offer access to county-level attorney ratios, statewide legal desert maps, and research reports that highlight where shortages exist and how they affect local communities. This data helps inform strategic placement of attorneys and guides long-term planning for strengthening access to justice.
