The Disability Rights Legal Center's Cancer Legal Resource Center (CLRC) was founded in 1997 to address the legal issues faced by people with cancer, unique in the larger disability community, and is committed to providing information and resources about cancer-related legal issues to members of the cancer community across the nation.
The Cancer Legal Resource Center provides information through its national telephone assistance line/online assistance program, as well as outreach programs and community activities to educate and support cancer patients, their families, healthcare professionals and advocates on matters like maintaining employment through treatment, accessing healthcare and government benefits, taking medical leave and estate planning. CLRC provides trainings in-person and online, and maintains a library of resources (including our Patient Legal Handbook), on a wide range of legal topics.
