Disability Law Clinic

The Disability Law Clinic, established in 1985, offers free legal services to Cumberland and Perry County residents with disability-related problems. Qualified law students provide legal services in areas such as:

Supplemental Security Income claims (SSI);
Handicap discrimination;
Americans with Disabilities Act claims;
Special education problems;
Social Security Disability claims;
Other disability matters.

In most semesters, the Clinic is staffed by four second- and third-year students. Students appear before Social Security Disability Hearing Officers and Administrative Law Judges, as well as judges of the Court of Common Pleas. They also handle appeals to the federal courts. Students are supervised by Professor Robert Rains and supervising attorneys Anne MacDonald-Fox and Megan Riesmeyer, who are members of the Bar of Pennsylvania. Students are certified under the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's Student Practice Rule.

The Disability Law Clinic is located in the Dale F. Shughart Community Law Center at 45 North Pitt Street. Contact the Clinic at (717) 243-3696 for more information.
