The 5th Annual LRAP Golf Invitational
to benefit Pierce Law's Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP)
Thanks to all who made the 5th Annual LRAP Golf Invitational 2009 a success!
The 5th Annual LRAP Golf Invitational, held on June 22, 2009 at the Concord Country Club, raised over $10,000 to support the Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) at Franklin Pierce Law Center.
Eighty-eight players participated in this fun event, assisting our communities' most vulnerable and disadvantaged citizens by making loan repayment assistance awards available to new attorneys. These lawyers must balance having to pay off extraordinary large amounts of student debt with their desire to serve in generally low-paying public interest legal capacities.
Thanks to the many generous sponsors (listed below) for their support of the LRAP Golf Invitational. All proceeds from the golf tournament benefit LRAP, ensuring access to justice for all. Many thanks to Dennison Cabinetry for sponsoring a foursome and congratulations to the winning teams listed below. read more>> LRAP Golf Tournament Raises $10,000

Why Support LRAP?
Alumna Kristen Guilmette JD '04 at the New Hampshire Public Defender office sums it up best:
"Compelling. Demanding. Rewarding. Those words describe public interest law. Impossible would have been another were it not for Pierce Law's Loan Repayment Assistance Program ("LRAP"). The financial burden of loan repayment is huge, forcing some new lawyers to forego public interest law.
Through LRAP, Pierce Law not only supports its graduates but also supports the community in making sure that lawyers who choose to dedicate their career to the public interest are able to do so. LRAP made my decision to be a public defender an easy one---and I'm grateful."

"Because of debt, more and more graduates find themselves limited to working in large private law firms, thus surrendering any possibility of taking on socially critical and experience-rich positions in government or legal service offices, or other important but lower-paying jobs."
