  • A better judiciary makes a better society.

    Our mission is to ensure that law clerks have positive clerkship experiences, while extending support and resources to those who do not. Through advocacy, though leadership, programming, and innovative legal technology, The Legal Accountability Project increases transparency, diversity, equity and accountability in judicial clerkships, the judiciary, and the legal profession.

    • Clerkship Database

      Clerkship Database

      The Clerkship Database increases transparency in clerkship hiring by democratizing information about judges as managers, chambers culture, and clerkship experiences, thereby empowering law students with information. Your donation will help us bring this innovative legal technology to more law students and law schools this year.
    • Law School Programming

      Law School Programming

      We host programming with law schools, bar associations, and other stakeholders to discuss judicial accountability, clerkships, and diversity in the courts. We visited more than 20 law schools during the 2022-2023 school year and are visiting many more during the 2023-2024 school year. LAP has changed the clerkship messaging and programming on many campuses. Help us bring our candid content to even more schools.
    • Data Collection & Analysis

      Data Collection & Analysis

      Quantifying the scope of problems through data collection and analysis is the first step toward crafting effective solutions to protect law clerks from workplace mistreatment and hold judges accountable for misconduct.
    • Resources for Law Clerks

      Resources for Law Clerks

      LAP offers a variety of resources for law clerks to empower them to seek accountability and redress. We are also creating an Employment Attorney Consortium to connect mistreated law clerks with attorneys who can help. Law clerks willing to take the brave step of reporting mistreatment deserve support from the legal community: that includes access to legal representation.
    • Advocacy

      Advocacy

      The Legal Accountability Project advocates for legislative and policy changes as well as larger cultural change in the legal community. We have changed the messaging around clerkships on law school campuses. Now, we’re working to transform the legal profession for the next generation of attorneys from a culture of silence and fear to one of candor and empowerment.
