In today’s ever-evolving and increasingly inclusive world, creating a professional workplace open to ensuring successful interactions with people with disabilities has become vitally important. But sometimes “walking a mile in someone’s shoes” is easier said than done when something so personal and distinctive as a disability can be hard to fully understand, especially if you do not share the same disability or have a disability of your own. Well, you too can gain the knowledge and tools to foster a professional and equitable work environment that ensures clients, peers, and opposing counsel with disabilities alike have well-rounded and valuable interactions with your law firm.

Our free, upcoming Justia Webinar will include discussion on the three components of professionalism in the legal field when interacting with people with disabilities. If you’re curious and would like to know more, sign up for our webinar today!
