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.
