The NALSWD is a coalition of law students dedicated to disability advocacy and the achievement of equal access, inclusion, diversity and non-discrimination in legal education and in the legal profession. The future success of NALSWD, which aims to support the growing number of law students with disabilities by providing mentors, studying and survival tips for law school and career advice for the legal profession, depends on the active participation by disabled law students.
