Abstract

Medical-legal partnerships (MLPs) integrate knowledge and practices from law and health care in pursuit of health equity. However, the MLP movement has not reached its full potential to address racial health inequities, in part because its original framing was not explicitly race conscious.

In a review of 241 MLP websites, only eighteen explicitly stated in their program mission or description an intention to serve Black, Indigenous, Latinx, or people of color (or used terminology such as “marginalized populations” that one might infer to include the forgoing communities).

This brief description of the professional cultures influencing the development of the MLP movement does not mean to ignore the role of dissenting/activist and explicitly anti-racist traditions within those fields. It will be critical to draw upon those traditions when thinking about frameworks for operationalizing racial justice in MLPs.Google Scholar

At the time of its founding, there were already approximately 75 MLPs around the country. Id.
