Overview: Lawyers themselves are required to comply with federal and California disability rights laws. This training will provide an overview of these basic legal requirements, as well as offering practical tips for ensuring access to legal services for people with disabilities. Particular attention will be given to representation of clients with mental health disabilities. This training will assist in the recognition, identification, and prevention of bias in a legal setting.

Attorneys who wish to attend but who are not currently members of ALRP are requested to join our Panel and accept two referrals in the next year.
