The Lawyer Assistance Program Committee was created as a means to encourage attorneys and their families to adopt and practice health lifestyles to improve their physical and mental well-being. The Committee shall continue the process of creating and implementing a program to provide assistance to members of the Virgin Islands Bar Association who suffer from substance abuse and addiction.
