Subcommittee on Lawyers with Disabilities

Comprised of members of the ABA Commission on Mental and Physical Disability Law, the Subcommittee on Lawyers with Disabilities works toward the full and equal participation in the legal profession for lawyers with disabilities. Projects focus on education and outreach within the ABA, and within the legal profession as a whole. The Subcommittee was founded through an ABA Task Force charged with making membership benefits more accessible for persons with disabilities, and over the years has expanded its work to address a broader scope of issues concerning lawyers with disabilities.
