LAWS214

This course seeks to help students place current ideas of disability within their broadest possible legal and social context. This course seeks to engage students in the historical and contemporary definitions of disability, the relationship between law and the disability community. The goal of this course is to provide students with an understanding of disabled populations and law that deinstitutionalizes legal responses to difference and creates in the student an imagination for innovative resolutions regarding contemporary issues affecting disabled populations, their family, caregivers and the society in which they live and work.
