Assisting Law Students with Disabilities in the 21st Century - The International Law Student: Culture; Access; and When Well Stop Scrambling
Update: 2011-03-18
Description
The concept of accommodations can be alien to an incoming international law student, and inaccessible to any entering student. Whether made aware late in the process or not at all, the student typically arrives armed with minimal expectation or documentation regarding a disability. As administrators navigate the challenges of housing to insurance to personal assistance to academic accommodations, we will discuss best practices in this area, with the goal of distributing a guide on this topic.
