Hi Casey, The Institute of Special Education Advocacy (ISEA) at William & Mary Law School will not be held this year. The law school had staff turnover that affected its ability to host the program. Fingers crosssed for next year.
I cannot find any updated information regarding the Wrights’ Law certificate program offered through William and Mary College. The most recent info I can find is regarding the 2019 or 2020 program as being cancelled. Does anyone know anything about this? Will it be offered this year?
