How Can Legal Aid Hold on to Good Attorneys?

Earlier this month, Dori Rapaport, executive director of Justice North, and Lee Richardson of Legal Aid of Arkansas, discussed their multi-faceted efforts to attract and retain high-quality attorneys and staff on LSC’s Talk Justice podcast. While it’s no secret that legal aid does not lead to the highest potential salaries in the profession, it does offer rewarding, and sometimes high impact work. Leaders must be creative with limited resources, familiar with their program’s most pressing legal needs, and knowledgeable about the priorities of public interest attorneys.

Legal Services Corporation (LSC) president Ronald Flagg sat down with Rapaport and Richardson to talk about the challenges their legal aid organizations face around hiring and retention, what steps they have taken to overcome obstacles, and the impact those steps can make in helping close the justice gap.
