Institute for Aging and Disability Law
The Institute for Aging and Disability Law focuses on topics of specific concern to older adults and individuals with disabilities.
Launched in September 1994, the institute provides innovative options for reforming existing laws and designing new ones to meet the needs of this increasing and diverse population. The program conducts research on aging and disability law issues and offers conferences, seminars, and training programs for policymakers, advocates for the elderly, older adults, families, and caregivers.
