[blindlaw] looking for articles for the Disability Rights Committee's second quarterly newsletter

[Deepa Goraya]

Additionally, we are always looking for 101/201 practice series
articles throughout the year. 101/201 Practice Series articles are
online resources for new lawyers covering basic training in both
substantive and practical aspects of law practice. So they would be
posted to our Committee website. These articles are typically longer
than the short articles contained in Newsletters—approximately 600
words. While Practice Series articles are longer, and tend to be more
substantive in nature, it is important to note that these are not “law
review” articles—they are simple, short articles that discuss
important substantive and/or practical aspects of law practice. They
can vary in terms of topic, but should have some nexus to the work of
the  Disability Rights Committee. Please see attached and here for
101/201 examples:
