Accommodations

The Denver Law Review is committed to providing accommodations for students with medical, religious, and emergency needs. Through collaboration with the Office of Student Affairs, the Denver Law Review strives to mirror the accommodations process available to all law students for classes and exams. Any medical, religious, and emergency accommodations requests sent to the Office of Student Affairs will not be shared with the Denver Law Review unless approved by the student.

Every student is entitled to equal opportunity within the Denver Law Review regardless of accommodation status. The Denver Law Review does not tolerate discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, ancestry, age, religion, creed, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, pregnancy, genetic information, military enlistment, or veteran status. Any student who believes that they have been subjected to unlawful discrimination has the right to file a report with the University of Denver Office of Equal Opportunity & Title IX; such student also has the right to file a complaint with an appropriate local, state, or federal agency.

Candidacy

For the candidacy process, students are strongly encouraged to submit accomodation requests to the Office of Student Affairs before the candidacy period begins. The Office of Student Affairs will consider accomodation requests submitted before the standard candidacy submission deadline. Accommodation requests for candidacy are kept strictly confidential and are never considered in the selection process.

Students who have approved accommodations from DU Student Disability Services should reach out to the Office of Student Affairs. The process is the same as requesting accommodations for exams.

Current Members

All Denver Law Review members are strongly encouraged to submit accommodation requests to the Office of Student Affairs as soon as possible. The Office of Student Affairs will consider accommodation requests submitted before the deadline of the assignment to which such an accommodation si applied.

Although the Denver Law Review and the Office of Student Affair strive to maintain anonymity wherever possible, implementing certain accommodations for Denver Law Review members may require the student to consent to revealing their identity. Where knowledge of a student's identity is needed to implement an accommodation, the Office of Student Affairs will communicate the student's identity and their requested accommodation to the Equity Editor, who will communicate the student's identity and their requested accommodation to the relevant assigning editor. If a student has concerns about anonymity, the student should reach out to the Office of Student Affairs.

Students who have approved accommodations from DU Student Disability Services should reach out to the Office of Student Affairs. The process is similar to requesting accommodations for class. Students who wish to obtain approved accommodations should reach out to the Office of Student Affairs, who will direct the student to DU Student Disability Services.

If a student experiences an emergency or unexpected event that affects their ability to work as an a Denver Law Review member, the student should contact anyone on the Executive Board or the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, Jessica Boynton, as soon as possible. Examples of such events may include (but are not limited to) illness, injury, bereavement, family emergencies, jury duty, or military obligations.
