Covid-19, Lying, Mask-Less Exposures And Disability During A Pandemic, Madeleine M. Plasencia May 2021

Covid-19, Lying, Mask-Less Exposures And Disability During A Pandemic, Madeleine M. Plasencia

University of Miami Race & Social Justice Law Review

This article focuses on disability law in the context of COVID-19.
