Brandeis School of Law professosr Laura Rothstein has studied those changes and been at the forefront of pushing for policies that ensure justice for everyone. And, she notes that higher education has played an important role in bringing about those positive changes.

She has written 14 books and dozens of book chapters/articles on disability law and chaired the AALS Special Committee on Disability Issues from 1988-1990.
