FAQs About the Registration

Who should register?

1. Lawyers with mental and/or physical disabilities who practice any type of law.

2. Lawyers, law professors, government agencies, and other practitioners and organizations who specialize in legal representation of persons with mental or physical disabilities.

Why should lawyers with disabilities register?

To learn about networking receptions, educational conferences, award ceremonies, and other opportunities for lawyers with disabilities sponsored by the ABA Commission on Mental and Physical Disability Law. Also, it is important for the legal profession to know how many persons with disabilities are practicing law.

Why should lawyers who practice disability law be involved?

In order to be listed as a referral for persons with disabilities seeking representation.

How can law students get involved?

Law students who have a disability are also encouraged to register, though the information will remain confidential. These students will learn about networking, mentoring, and scholarship opportunities for law students with disabilities.

How can I contact the Commission for more information?
