Why 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."
