Disability Rights in Europe: From Theory to Practice
The UK Disability Rights Commission, in partnership with the Department
of
Law and the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds,
are
pleased to announce a conference to celebrate the European Year of
Disabled
People to be held at the University of Leeds on 25-26 September 2003.
The conference will examine the range of legal strategies which have
been adopted internationally to counter discrimination against disabled
people and facilitate their inclusion into mainstream society.
The conference aims to bring together scholars, policy-makers, lawyers
and
others to share insights and develop a greater understanding of the
issues
involved. It is hoped that the conference will also lead to the creation
of
a network of interested parties who will develop close links for ongoing
work. An application has been made for this conference to attract
continuing
professional development points from the Law Society and Bar Council.
The conference has been made possible by sponsorship from the UK
Disability Rights Commission.
