The Training Program for Lawyers to Enhance Accessibility of Legal Services for People with Disabilities
This unique program aims to expand professional knowledge and provide guidance to lawyers on how to make legal services offered by the Ministry of Justice accessible to people with disabilities.
During the pilot phase, the program included participants from Legal Aid, the State Attorney’s Office, and the Public Defender’s Office. The program focused on developing knowledge and learning about all aspects of various disabilities, including intellectual and developmental, mental health, and communication disabilities. It also involved creating tools to enable legal professionals to provide better and more accessible services to people with disabilities.
As part of the program, representatives from different units were trained to serve as accessibility coordinators within their respective departments.
