The Maine Assistance Program for Lawyers and Judges (MAP) was created
by rule of the State of Maine Supremem Judicial Court in September 2002
to confidentially address the issue of lawyer or judge impairment from
the effects of chemical dependency or mental conditions that result from
disease,disorder, trauma, or other infirmity that impair the ability
of a lawyer or judge to practice or serve.
MAP has three purposes:
To protect the interests of clients and the general public from harm
caused by impaired lawyers or judges.
To confidentially assist impaired members of the profession to begin
and continue recovery; and
To educate the bench, the bar, and the public to the causes of and remedies
for impairments affecting members of the legal profession.
Map was established to prevent or alleviate problems before they jeopardize
a lawyer's or judge's practice and profession as well as offering help
and assistance at any time.

issues such as:
- Depression
