Listen Later

Today’s episode is about disabled lawyers with Hamza Jaka (@HamzaAJaka) and Britney Wilson (@labelleverite). Hamza is a recent graduate from UC Berkeley’s School of Law. Hamza shares his experiences requesting accommodations for his LSATs, the gatekeeping nature of the legal profession that excludes students with disabilities, and the overall toll of law school, ableism, and capitalism on disabled law students. Britney Wilson is a proud graduate of Howard University and the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Britney talks about why she wanted to become a lawyer, her experiences during law school, and her commitment to civil and disability rights. Disability Visibility is a production of the Disability Visibility Project, an online community dedicated to recording, amplifying, and sharing disability media and culture.
