Dissing Ability: Interview with Professor Tory L. Lucas
To correct a disabling view of people with disabilities, Professor Tory L. Lucas prescribes a paradigm shift that permanently redirects the focus from disability to ability. If America achieves this hopeful vision to no longer diss—or disrespect—ability, then people with disabilities will enjoy equal access to equal opportunity.
Professor Tory L. Lucas has served on the faculty of Liberty University School of Law since 2011. During his legal career, Tory has been a trial lawyer in private practice, served as a judge advocate in the U.S. Air Force, clerked for two federal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, published seventeen articles, and taught law at Creighton University School of Law, Stetson University College of Law, the University of Nebraska College of Law, and Liberty Law.
