Volunteer attorneys will assist students whose situations can be appropriately addressed with straightforward written complaints, limited to clear violations of Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). DRO’s Special Education Advocacy Program has been designed so that participating volunteer attorneys will be able to do valuable and needed work with a high degree of control over how that work impacts their own schedules and practice demands. ...more
