Florida Rural Legal Services (FRLS) implemented a loan repayment assistance program (LRAP) to help attorneys repay educational loans accrued while attending law school. Participants are eligible to receive up to 50% of the loan obligation up to a maximum monthly payment of $300 per attorney. To receive the full benefits of FRLS assistance, attorneys must commit to working for FRLS for two years. If an employee leaves during the employees first year of employment, the employee will be required to repay all of FRLS' assistance. If an employee leaves between the first and second years of employment, the employee will be required to repay 50% of the assistance. FRLS does not penalize attorneys who participate in LRAPs offered by outside groups. For more information, access the FRLS' LRAP guidelines below.
