Disability Justice

About

We are a group of King Hall law students with disabilities and allies who are seeking to improve access and equity resources while centering students with intersecting identities within the disability justice movement. We are here to prioritize building community with other students at King Hall that identify as having a disability. We want to address ableism at the law school and empower students with disabilities. We believe that people with disabilities should have the autonomy to self-determine what is or is not a disability and what does or does not impact their experiences as a person living with a disability. We do not intend to and will do our best not to police, filter, or invalidate someone's lived experience. We are building collective efforts to improve the academic experience of students with disabilities at King Hall.
