Look, more than 61 million adults in the United States – that's just adults – have one or more disabilities. And that's before COVID. We haven't had the post-COVID numbers with long haulers included in there. Disability is more pervasive than we think, and so if we see disability as touching many more things, places and people than it already does then applying a disability lens becomes even more important.
Professor Jasmine E. Harris, Professor of Law, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, quoted in interview by Maya Srikrishnan published by CTR. FOR PUB. INTEGRITY (Aug. 18, 2023).
Professor Harris is a co-author of a recently published Law Review article in which she and her co-authors suggest and practice providing what they call a "disability lens" to the recent decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court. "[B]ut it remains possible to glean new insights if we review the Court's work from an alternative perspective, one that does not often inform mainstream accounts." Jasmine E. Harris, Karen M. Tani, and Shira Wakschlag, The Disability Docket, 72 AM. U.L. REV. 1667 (2023). Download Jasmine E. Harris Karen M. Tani and Shira The Disability Docket 72 AM. U.L. REV. 1667 (2023)
