Whilst in today’s See Hear programme, there was an item about Deaf people trying to access the legal profession, are you a lawyer, and wondered how you could get involved?
If you did watch the programme today or indeed you are just reading this blawg, and are you a solicitor, barrister or law student who is interested in Deaf people’s access to the legal system? Are you interested in the term ‘Deaf Law’, and proposals to develop this?
We would like to set up a UK network, of solicitors, barristers and law students. Here, we are not identifying Deaf professionals per se, but any professional in this field who has an interest in deafness.
If this is you, please contact us, as we would like to set up an egroup in the first instance, to take this idea forward.
