For the first time, the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) conducted a survey of 2022 law school matriculants to begin understanding who they are, whether they disclosed their disability on law school applications, and what factors they considered in determining which law schools met their academic, professional, and personal needs. In this webinar, our esteemed panel of experts will discuss and share their insights on the survey findings and recommend what steps law schools can take to address the experiences, thoughts, and needs of these students, combat stigma surrounding disabilities, and remove existing barriers.
