Lawyer Spotlight

The ABA Lawyer Spotlight is a feature that highlights an attorney with a disability who is an asset to the profession.

Participants come from all practice areas and all work environments. There are also various types of disabilities represented. Profiles often describe the individual's work experience and disability. Many of our Spotlights offer advice and insight into the legal profession from the perspective of an individual with a disability.
