Contents: The National Senior Citizens Law Center is a non-profit advocacy group working in support of not only low-income elderly people but also younger disabled persons, with special attention given to the needs of women and minorities. The staff attorneys work primarily in the area of entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security, age and disability discrimination, and long-term care. "News" covers court decisions, new legislation, and administrative rulings, on a more detailed level than is usually found on the websites of similar organizations. The Center publishes several health law newsletters and practice manuals, and provides a lengthy list of links to a wide array of Internet resources pertaining to health law and activism. A consumer's page with FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is included, and there is a good deal of promotion of the Center's legal services activities, but the site as a whole is geared more toward the practitioner than toward the general public.
