2012-2013 Disability, Human Rights and the Law Seminar Series

The Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism, the Human Rights Working and the Disability and Law Portfolio at the 成人VR视频 Faculty of Law, welcome students and community members to participate in the second of four seminars in the series, Disability, Human Rights and the Law 2012-13.

The extent to which governments may limit a person鈥檚 right to legal capacity proved a contentious issue in drafting the CRPD. Its translation into daily life impacts access to justice and judicial review, health and housing, financial, property and asset management of persons with disabilities. Amidst ongoing UN discussions on the interpretation and full implementation of article 12, this seminar will discuss legal and non-legal issues, challenges and steps to overcoming lingering barriers.

The seminar will be moderated by Derek J. Jones (member of the Research Group on Health and Law and of the CHRLP).

Anna MacQuarrie (Human听Rights Officer at Inclusion International),听Michael N. Bergman (lawyer; founder of the Legal Information Clinic at 成人VR视频), and Roger Bill (law student; Human Rights Intern at Disability Rights International) will serve as resource persons.
