Disability Rights Legal Center

The Disability Rights Legal Center (DRLC) has been providing legal services to individuals with disabilities since 1975, making it the oldest cross-disability legal organization in the United States. It fulfills this mission by focusing on Advocacy, Problem Solving and Community Outreach via our programmatic areas: The Civil Rights Litigation Project provides free legal representation to people with disabilities who are encountering discrimination in violation of their civil rights. These cases are typically high impact and class action cases. The Cancer Legal Resource Center, a joint project with Loyola Law School, provides free information, educational outreach, resources, and referrals to people with cancer who are facing legal problems because of their disease. The Education Advocacy Project (EAP) provides special education training, workshops, and individual advocacy to students with disabilities and their families. The Community Outreach Program provides training and educational programs regarding rights and obligations under disability rights laws to people with disabilities, service providers, businesses, employers and others. The DRLC offers free Options Counseling, a Lawyer Referral Service, and Pro Bono Opportunities to lawyers, other professionals, and law and other students. All of our services are provided in English and Spanish and are either free or low cost. Accommodations are provided to all clients and at all trainings, including ASL interpreters, real-time captioning, alternative format materials, including large print or Braille materials. The DRLC is dedicated to training the next generation of disability rights advocates. Located on the campus of Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, the DRLC works closely with law student externs and with law faculty.  The DRLC also serves San Bernardino and Riverside Counties through its satellite office at the University of LaVerne College of Law, that law school's first on-campus clinic.
