The State Bar of Michigan is hosting a lunch-and-learn webinar to better understand disability issues and ensure legal services are accessible.
The free webinar “Disability: How to Provide Accessible Legal Services for All” is set for Tuesday, June 24, beginning at noon via Zoom.
Developed in conjunction with the Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee, Michigan attorney Ashley Jacobson will provide an overview of the basic concepts attorneys should understand—including what it means to be disabled, what accommodations can help clients obtain effective legal assistance, and how an attorney’s disability can impact their practice.
Jacobson is a disability rights attorney, disability counselor, and assessment specialist. She provides advice and counsel to lawyers and clients on legal matters where disability is a factor.
