Listen Later

In this episode, Katherine Macfarlane, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Idaho College of Law, discusses her work on how disabilities affect law students and lawyers, and how we can better accommodate people with disabilities. She begins by explaining the legal obligations that law schools and law firms have to accommodate people with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act. She describes the different kinds of disabilities that may affect law students and the kinds of accommodations that they may need and deserve. She reflects on her own experiences requesting accommodations for her disability as a law student, lawyer, and law professor. And she provides some thoughts on how law schools and law professors can better accommodate students with disabilities. Macfarlane is on Twitter at @KatAMacfarlane.
