Join the Disability Discussion Docket (3D)

3D has two purposes:

• A means of distribution for news, events, and information regarding disability law and disability rights
• A discussion forum for various matters related to lawyers and law students with disabilities

Below is 3D's current list policy:

1. Proper reply. If an individual who sends out the initial e-mail requests that all replies are sent to him or her, make sure you reply to that person only and not the list's address. 
2. Do not be afraid to pitch in. Everyone on this list has some experience that is worth contributing on one topic or another.
3. Keep the discussion civil. 
4. Legal advice and referrals. Participants must ensure that nothing they distribute over 3D may be considered as the rendering of legal advice; 3D is provided for educational and informational purposes only. The contents, including any referrals, of any e-mail are solely the responsibility of the e-mail's author and may not be construed as representing or reflecting the views of the American Bar Association or the Commission on Disability Rights. By using 3D, the e-mail's author agrees to indemnify and defend the ABA, its officer, employees and agents (including the reimbursement of reasonable attorney's fees) for costs incurred as a result of statements made in the author's e-mail. 
5. Political opinions. The purpose of the list is to help inform its members of disability law and disability rights issues. From time to time, such matters will intersect with politics and political news. Therefore, no messages will be allowed on the list that are partisan in nature or contain political opinions or political endorsements. No messages or links may originate from any political campaign. The ABA is a non-partisan, voluntary membership organization. Neither the ABA nor the Commission on Disability Rights has a political action committee, makes political contributions, or endorses candidates for office. 
6. Make sure that all items sent over 3D, including documents and videos, are in an accessible format.
