Research Resource
The clinic’s
research resource will pair undergraduate law student volunteers with CDLP PhDs
and research staff to prepare pieces of research sought by local organisations,
or assemble case law and precedent relating to disability issues for legal
practitioners, as part of developing a case or presenting an argument for
reform.
Requests for
research to be carried out will be dealt with on a case by case basis. Priority
will be given to issues which can be addressed within the current capacity of
the CDLP, which currently carries out research on legal capacity, independent
living, mental health law, inclusive education among other areas (see Research
Projects for further information).
Volunteers for
the research resource aspect of the clinic will also receive training on
research methods, sources, and presenting legal research in accessible
easy-to-read formats for organisations, or in the form of a briefing note for
legal practitioners, as necessary. In addition to this training, research
volunteers will be mentored by CDLP staff and CDLP PhD students, who will
quality-assure the research produced by the clinic.
Completed projects:
- In 2012, the volunteers completed a research project on voting rights for those with visual impairments. The completed projected is
