Disability Legal Information Clinic

Do you have a disability related legal question we can help with? It could be about education, employment, discrimination, the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act or something else about disability and the law in Ireland. Our clinic has appointments available in person and online until May.

Students on the LLM in International and Comparative Disability Law and Policy provide free, confidential, accessible legal information on disability related issues to people across Ireland. Students are supervised by a member of the CDLP team and a qualified legal practitioner.
