Guidance from the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania understands that members of the legal profession may face mental health or substance use challenges—and that fear of disclosure can prevent them from seeking help.
To support recovery without jeopardizing careers, the Court has made it clear that confidentiality is protected when seeking assistance from approved programs like LCLPA.
📜 Rule 8.3(c) – Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct
“The Rule does not require disclosure of information otherwise protected by Rule 1.6 or information gained by a lawyer or judge while participating in an approved lawyers assistance program.”
💬 Comment 7 further explains:
“… providing for an exception … encourages lawyers and judges to seek treatment through such a program. Conversely, without such an exception, lawyers and judges may hesitate to seek assistance from these programs, which may then result in additional harm to their professional careers and additional injury to the welfare of clients and to the public.”
LCLPA is the Commonwealth’s approved lawyers assistance program.
Your decision to reach out is both protected and supported—legally and ethically.
