The Federal Limited Appearance Program (FLAP) was developed by the United States District Court for the District of Colorado and the Colorado Bar Association Young Lawyers Division to bridge the gap between the limited scope, out-of-court services provided by the Federal Pro Se Clinic and full-scope pro bono representation facilitated by the Civil Pro Bono Panel. Specifically, FLAP aims to address the difficulties and complexities pro se parties routinely experience in civil litigation when forced to confront procedural and other non-dispositive issues during in-person court appearances by providing those litigants an attorney to stand by their side in court.
