Docket # 020521 - Olmstead Ain't Enough (Part 1)

We're trying a new format this week and breaking up our episodes into multiple parts. We think this will be an easier way to disseminate a lot of the information we provide. Let us know what you think!

Today we're discussing Buck v. Bell and Olmstead v. LC and talking about the broader importance of the way the law interacts with disabilities. We didn't do an intro on the cases themselves, but if you're not familiar or want to learn more, take a look at the cases below:
