Best Schools for Disabilities Law

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if anybody has any idea of what schools are best for studying disabilities law. I will be graduating in May and starting the application process shortly after. I'm also interested in international human rights law.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Ben

Yale, then Harvard and Stanford :)

Most people on this forum are going to tell you to aim for the top three if you want any career in human rights law. I don't know about disability law, but I assume those positions are few and far between as well. You need to get into the best possible school to get any shot at these careers.

I take it you don't really want to just do plaintiffs work (suing businesses for ADA violations, etc.).

Even so I'd go to the best school that gives you a chance at a legal job: Yale, followed by HS.
