The conference has already been completed, but the CLE panels are available as podcasts through our ABA Shop page, and the conference agenda materials can be viewed here. The Commission thanks all participants, and we hope to see you all at the next ABA-CDR National Conference!
Approximately one in five persons in the United States has a disability, making persons with disabilities the largest minority group in the nation. Questions involving persons with disabilities and their rights arise in every area of law and have a complex and developing legal landscape of their own.
This Conference examines disability issues that arise in both employment and education law. Join an esteemed group of experts representing plaintiffs, defendants, and policy-makers for a full day of premier programming. Increase your knowledge, build your skills, learn new tips and strategies, and network with other leaders in the field.
