A Starting Point For Disability Justice In Legal Education, Christina Payne-Tsoupros
Journal Articles
This article explores how a disability justice framework would provide greater access to law school and therefore the legal profession for disabled students of color; specifically, disabled Black, Indigenous, and Latinx students. Using DisCrit principles formulated by Subini Annamma, David Connor, and Beth Ferri (2013), this article provides suggestions for incorporating a disability justice lens to legal education.

Brown, Talila “TL” Lewis, and Katherine Pérez, and considers lessons from their advocacy and leadership that can apply in the law school setting.

The institutes Cochran helped to establish have become laboratories to give expression to his ideas about the relationship between faith, ethics, and …

The integrated approach to clinical legal education enables law students to explore and to utilize more than one legal advocacy strategy simultaneously to achieve social change.

FOR ten years I have had the honor and the privilege to serve as dean of the University of the District of Columbia David A.
