[blindlaw] FW: ABA National Conference on the Employment of Lawyers with Disabilities Report

The attached report from the first ever ABA National Conference on the
Employment of Lawyers with Disabilities celebrates an historic event,
yet underscores an undeniable reality in our Association and our
profession: While we can be proud of the progress made in regards to
diversity as it applies to women and racial and ethnic minorities, a
noticeable gap remains when it comes to diversity based on disability.
As you read the report and the recommendations, we hope that you will
appreciate that there is much hard work to be done before we will be
able to realize a day not too far in the future when the face of our
profession is truly diverse, and all lawyers with and without
disabilities will be considered equal before the Bar.  If you are unable
to read the attachment you may also find the report on the Commission's
website at  <http://www.abanet.org/disability/>

Sincerely,
