I do only know of the article that Carrie G. Basas wrote on women lawyers with disabilities. That article can be located via West Law. Thanks.

Subject: [blindlaw] books on women and girls with disabilities

Hi all,
Hope your summer is going well.
Is anyone by chance aware of any books specifically on women and girls with disabilities, either internationally or nationally?  I am looking for both legal books, social science books and feminist disability studies books that are either general or that cover a specific topic with respect to women and girls with disabilities.
Please reply to the below email address.
Thank you.

Subject: Two New Web Features for Law Students and Prospective Law Students

The Commission today released two web features to primarily help law students with disabilities and prospective law students with disabilities:


 1.  Requesting Accommodations for the LSAT< http://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_services/mental_physical_disability/resources/lsat_accom.html > has a concise listing of procedures, tips, and deadlines concerning requests for accommodations on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). There are links to additional resources, and a case listing of lawsuits by individuals seeking accommodations for the LSAT will be forthcoming.
 2.  Law School Disability Programs Directory< http://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_services/mental_physical_disability/resources/law_school_programs.html >, while not entirely new, has received a fresh look and some updated information. This state-by-state directory lists all ABA-approved law schools and their submitted information concerning disability law courses, extra/co-curricular activities focusing on disability law or law students with disabilities, clinics that handle disability law, and other relevant information. The portion of the directory containing contact information on disability support contacts was recently updated to include nearly all of the schools' disability resource centers. This directory is a good place to start when selecting a law school or for employers who would like to know what law schools are accommodating to students with disabilities or students with an interest in disability law.

You can find out additional web features from the Commission on our resources page.< http://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_services/mental_physical_disability/resources.html >

In the coming weeks, the Commission will be announcing additional web features, so please stay tuned.

Best,
