About the Conference
We are thrilled to be holding NALSWD's 7th Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. this year and are excited to bring together the nation's top lawyers, judges, and legal scholars with disabilities to speak on issues affecting law students with disabilities. The goal of NALSWD's annual conference is to provide current and prospective law students with disabilities an invaluable opportunity to network, hear from various disability rights speakers, and discuss issues facing the disability community in law school and the legal profession.
We will kick off the annual conference event with a special Welcome Reception the evening of Friday March 14th at Microsoft Corporation's offices in Chevy Chase, MD. After breakfast and registration starting at 8:15am, Saturday will feature a series of panels on different topics relevant to law students with disabilities, including bar exam accommodations, employment & disability disclosure, disability barriers to the legal profession, and the current state of disability law. A keynote address will cap off official business on Saturday at 4:45pm, followed by a Wine & Cheese Reception. Please see below for more detailed information surrounding the times, locations, and events of this year's conference.
