Washington Lawyers Assisting Lawyers

WA Lawyers Assisting Lawyers (WaLAL) is a free, confidential, independent, 501(c)(3) that provides peer support (not treatment) for all legal professionals and professors, including law students, lawyers, and judges. 

WaLAL’s goal is to meet the challenges facing law students and legal professionals today. Roughly 1 in 3 law students will face mental health or substance use challenges during their lifetimes - all will face a challenging career. WaLAL wants that career to be fulfilling, successful, and long-lived. The organization offers a practical, trusted way to meet that need - through trained lawyer peer counselors, who are all current or past attorneys with lived experience meeting the challenges of this career and overcoming the challenges listed above.

WaLAL offers more than one-on-one peer counseling. They provide workshops, free CLEs, and other ongoing support to students and staff. WaLAL is supported by WSBA (BUT ENTIRELY INDEPENDENT of it), accredited for CLEs, and aligned with ABA Standards 303 and 508 on student well-being.

Students, you are invited to take WaLAL’s wellness tests and reach out to WaLAL directly for confidential peer support. Please visit www.walal.org for more information.
