Description
Diversity remains front and center of the goals of any bar association. One of the areas where attention is not always focused is on disability. This Bar Issues Commission programme addresses this component of diversity in terms of discussing current definitions of disability, issues facing further inclusion of the disabled in achieving diversity in the workplace and volunteer organisations, and recommendations for the future.
