Disabled Law Student Collective

Purpose: The purpose of DLSC at LUC Law is to foster a community for disabled law students and allies, to increase accessible legal education, and to develop a network of disabled law school graduates. The DLSC aspires to champion a social model of disability through education, accountability, and advocacy among students, faculty, and administration. The DLSC intentionally used disability-first language as a political statement reclaiming disabled identity from harmful medical- and functional models of disability.
