DABC’s Disability Law Clinic to temporarily close intake for summary advice

July 28, 2026 by DABC

Due to overwhelming demand for our services and a significant resulting backlog, the Disability Law Clinic has made the difficult decision to close intake for at least one month, starting August 1, 2026.

Our summary advice intake form will be closed during this time. We will continue to respond to clients with referral options, but our responses may be delayed.

We will use this time to address our existing backlog so that we can better serve our clients’ needs. We’ll provide an update when we re-open intake.

If you need legal help in the meantime, please refer to our resource and referral guide: Disability Law Clinic Resource and Referral Guide.

Thank you for your patience.
