The Legal Accountability Project’s mission is to ensure that law clerks have positive clerkship experiences, while extending support and resources to those who do not. Aliza Shatzman founded LAP after she was harassed and retaliated against during and after her clerkship, which she first shared publicly in congressional testimony, in order to ensure that law students could access transparent information about clerkships and identify positive working relationships with judges. Through thought leadership, advocacy, and innovative legal technology, LAP increases transparency, diversity, and accountability in judicial clerkships, the judiciary, and the legal profession generally.

LAP is a nonpartisan 501c3 organization that collaborates with law schools, law students, law clerks, the judiciary, the legal technology community, law firms, bar associations, and other stakeholders to implement wide-scale change. We empower law students to become informed consumers of clerkship information and inspire law clerks through our messaging, programming, and legal technology solutions.
