Applying Universal Design into the Legal Academy
(2021)
Abstract
Abstract: Access to quality legal education has always been fundamental for true access to justice. While there have been tremendous strides in law school inclusion and diversity, too often there are inherent and difficult barriers to access in the form of the physical, technological, and cognitive environment which are often overlooked but play a large role in keeping many people out of law school. While there are several federal and state laws meant to address these barriers, Universal Design provides the clearest policy change for law schools to remedy these issues. This paper will explore how the law, law school policies and UD principles interact within the law library environment to provide an inclusive and accessible law school experience for every single student.
