> The goal of the symposium is "including disability" in legal and policy
> discourses. Disability is a part of human experience yet it is often
> neglected or overlooked in these discourses. We seek to provide a forum 
> for
> academics, practitioners, students, and the community to share ideas and
> discuss important issues to the disability community, particularly from a
> multicultural perspective. Along with the recent reemergence of the
> Disability Law Society, a student organization at UCLA Law, our hope is 
> that
> the symposium will solidify the importance of including disability at UCLA
> Law and her sister institutions.
>
> The symposium will be focused on the theme of transitions, specifically 
> the
> transitions commonly faced by individuals with disabilities throughout 
> life.
> For example, transitioning from high school to community living can be a
> difficult time for an individual with a developmental disability. Our
> symposium seeks to address how our laws and social institutions prepare
> individuals with disabilities to face the challenge of transition and be
> successful in their lives. Conversely, we also hope to create a space to
> explore how these same laws and institutions have created or exacerbated
> challenges in individuals' lives.
