Disability Law Center

The Minnesota Disability Law Center (MDLC) of Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid is the federally designated Protection and Advocacy (P&A) agency for people with disabilities in the state of Minnesota. Every state has a P&A in which lawyers and advocates provide free legal help to people with disabilities on disability rights issues. As a P&A, MDLC has federal access authority which allows us to monitor and investigate facilities that serve people with disabilities—any type of disability, of any age, at all income levels, across Minnesota.
