[blindLaw] Research Participant opportunity for lawyers with disabilities

[Eve Hill]

In case you're interested in participating in this. Sounds interesting.

The Center for Democracy & Technology, in partnership with the AAPD, ACLU, and Coworker.org, is conducting a research project on disabled workers' experiences with modern selection procedures and computerized hiring processes. The project will involve a total of 16-18 participants, evenly split between workers who are interested in (or who may be referred to) two categories of jobs: part-time or entry-level hourly positions, and non-managerial attorney positions.

Participants will take computerized assessments and video interviews that simulate what workers may experience when applying for such positions in the real world. After participants complete these tasks, a member of the research team will interview each participant and ask them to share their experiences. The research team will then consolidate and analyze the participants' descriptions of their experiences and publish a report that identifies common themes and highlights any biases, accessibility barriers, and concerns that the participants encountered.

We expect the study to require 3-4 hours to complete, and study participants will receive $250 for their time. We have begun enrolling participants and hope to have all participants selected as soon as possible. We would like to set up a call to talk with you about this project and potentially tap into your organization's network to find workers who would be interested in participating in the study.


For Participants (Lawyers)

A group of nonprofit organizations is conducting a study on disabled workers' experiences with modern hiring techniques. One group of participants for this study will be disabled attorneys and law students. Participants will complete tasks, such as assessments and a video interview, that are similar to what workers may experience when applying for attorney positions in the real world. A member of the research team will interview each participant after they complete these tasks and ask them to share their experiences. We expect the study to take 3-4 hours to complete, and participants will receive $250 for their time.
If you identify as disabled, plan to apply for attorney positions in the next three years (or are currently working as an attorney), and are interested in participating in this study, please complete this short survey<https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7486631/AEDT-Project-Screen>. You will receive a $5 Visa gift card for completing the survey, regardless of whether you are selected for the study. Please reach out to us at hiring.research.2023 at cdt.org<mailto:hiring.research.2023 at cdt.org> if you have any questions.
