Utah Lawyers Helping Lawyers (“ULHL”) is committed to rendering confidential assistance to any member of the Utah State Bar whose professional performance is or may be impaired because of mental illness, emotional distress, substance abuse or any other disabling condition or circumstance.
ULHL recognizes that addiction and mental health problems significantly impact a person’s ability to function in the practice of law. ULHL believes that by accepting the responsibility to help those in need, we help to save the lives and law practices of impaired attorneys.
The help ULHL provides Bar members also importantly contributes to the protection of the public and to the continued improvement in the integrity and reputation of the legal profession. Providing needed assistance to impaired lawyers often prevents future ethical violations resulting in the reduction of disciplinary actions among lawyers and increasing protection to the public. |
