[blindlaw] 2011 Jacobus tenBroek Disability Law Symposium

[Fred Wright Lopez]

With the long lead time for the 2011 Jacobus tenBroek Law Symposium I wish to raise two issues:
First: Organizers of the important symposium should consider alternative geographic sites for this annual legal conference.  Limiting the site every year to the NFB Baltimore headquarters limits the ability of many to participate in the discussion and interact with attorneys and otehrs who are advocates for blind and disabled.   It is rather ironic that a conference named in honor of a long time professor of law at the University of California is never held in that state.  Perhaps for the 2012 or 1023 symposium the conference could be held in California, Texas, Colorado or another Western state.

Second:  Will the 2011 tenBroek Symposium be webcast or streamed so that others unable to travel to Baltimore can fully participate?  In this current technological age there is no valid excuse for not webcasting this important event.

Thank you:   Fred W. Lopez, Member DC Bar
