Description

Disability Law Center (DLC) is an independent non-profit organization that provides legal advocacy services for people with disabilities anywhere in Alaska. DLC is designated under federal law as the State of Alaska's "Protection and Advocacy" (P & A) agency. The Protection and Advocacy (P&A) System comprises the nationwide network of congressionally mandated, legally based disability rights agencies. In response to the public outcry about the abuse and neglect of individuals with disabilities in institutional care, the U.S. Congress in 1975 mandated the creation of P & A agencies in every state and territory. The purpose of this nationwide system is to provide for the protection of and advocacy for the legal, civil, and human rights of persons with mental or physical disabilities.
