LRAP FAQ: What is an example of low-paying work that provides services to underserved populations or addresses unmet legal needs?
The LRAP Committee determines, on a case-by-case basis whether an applicant’s work is qualifying low-paying work that provides services to underserved populations or addresses unmet legal needs. Some possible examples are working in counties in the eastern plains of Colorado or other rural areas where there may not be a sufficient number of lawyers to provide legal services necessary to members of the community. Another example might be representing people who cannot afford to hire an attorney to protect their rights.
