The Disability Rights Center @ Ohio Legal Rights Service

The Disability Rights Center @ Ohio Legal Rights Service (DRC@OLRS) is a new service that is based at the OLRS web site, its Facebook page, and a new disability law blog to be introduced in the near future.

LRS will use the notion of the DRC@OLRS to provide both up to the minute and in depth coverage of legal issues affecting people with disabilities in Ohio and around the nation.
