Disability Law Society
We are an organization of Syracuse University College of Law students who are working to create and support a positive climate toward disability that values individual difference. We are the sister organization of the Beyond Compliance Coordinating Committee (BCCC), a group created by graduate students in the School of Education interested in pursuing a career in disability law or a related field.
We address these goals by providing:
Our organization is open to any College of Law student, faculty or staff member with an interest in disability law.
The officers will be nominated by the current student membership and elected by majority vote at the beginning of each fall semester and serve for one year.
Our faculty advisors are Arlene Kanter, Professor and Director of the Disability Law and Policy Program, and Michael Schwartz, Professor and Director of the Disability Rights Clinic
All members will have the power to suggest meeting agenda items (via our listserv). Members who cannot attend meetings will still be involved through participation on our listserv.
Members agree on the following procedures:
The Beyond Compliance Coordinating Committee (BCCC) is an organization consisting of Syracuse University students who are working to create and support a positive climate toward disability that values individual difference in all University settings.
