Today we welcomed students to our LLM in International and Comparative Disability Law and Policy Programme and they had an opportunity to get to know each other better and learn more about our work here at the CDLP. It was lovely to have students join us in person at the Institute for Lifecourse and Society (ILAS) building and online and learn more about their motivations and goals for the year ahead. We look forward to many more interesting discussions.
