����ֱ�� Disability Justice Alliance (CDJA) is ����ֱ�� Law’s National Disabled Law Student Association (NDLSA) chapter. The NDLSA “is a nonprofit organization run by volunteers with the shared goal of increasing disability diversity in the legal profession.” Created by and for law students with disabilities and students interested in disability inclusion advocacy, the NDLSA has law school chapters all over the country. CDJA is ����ֱ�� Law’s first NDLSA chapter.

CDJA was founded with the intention of creating a lasting organization premised on increasing ����ֱ�� Law’s commitment to disability inclusion and fostering the success of disabled, neurodiverse, and chronically ill law students. The CDJA currently has the following goals:

1) Fostering connections between ����ֱ�� Law students and the greater disability law community
2) Providing networking and mentoring opportunities for disabled law students
3) Providing resources and support for disabled students at ����ֱ�� Law
4) Establishing safe spaces for students with disabilities to discuss frustrations and experiences
5) Enhancing formal legal education by exposing students to disability law learning opportunities that extend beyond the classroom, and
6) Encouraging student engagement with legal and social barriers to disability inclusion.
