Disability Law
In this class we will explore the disability rights movement and the laws, including the ADA, the Fair Housing Act, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, that inform and advance the movement. The class will also discuss the philosophy of disability rights theory that aims to transform societal thinking on disability away from a construct of charity and pity and toward a construct of power and civil rights. Taught by a disability rights attorney, the class will also feature a handful of guest lectures by other disability rights attorneys.
