Resources
We publish research, tools, and lessons learned to help healthcare and legal organizations build and operate medical-legal partnerships and to help funders and policymakers advance medical-legal partnership activities. You can search those resources in the library below.
The library also links to journal articles, authored both by National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership staff and MLP practitioners and researchers from the field, that highlight ways medical-legal partnerships have improved patient health and well-being, the healthcare workforce, and healthcare delivery. A list of these articles with summaries are also available on the Peer-Reviewed Research page.
Framing Legal Care as Health Care Messaging Guide
The only way to make legal care visible and necessary to health care is to describe it in the words and values of that community. This guide helps civil legal aid practitioners message their work to healthcare audiences in order to build stronger cross sector medical-legal partnerships and to encourage investment in that work.
