Thank you to @ABAesq for allowing me to write about moving being compliance and true access & inclusion in the workplace and legal profession for #NDEAM. @NatDisLegal@NatDLSA https://t.co/pxKhavPWFh
The need for disability inclusivity in law school goes beyond the classroom and the Bar—law journals, student organizations, and other law-related events should be taking active steps to be more accessible and include disabled law students from the start
a good thread--and another way law journals like VLR can be more inclusive is through their process of admitting students to the journal. I was unable to try out for a journal during 1L due to not being able to receive adequate disability accommodations in time @NatDLSA

Even better, the developers have come to us with that goal in mind.
This month, there will be a 60-90 minute session in August with Prof. Debby Merritt from the Ohio State University’s Moritz College of Law, where we review the pathway proposal… (3/?)
The #NYBOLE didn’t think to check if the accommodated testing center in Manhattan has accessible bathrooms for us to use. I’ll be peeing with the stall door open all week. Happy #ADA Day?
