Subject: [DRBA] Disability Rights Attorney Position Opening at American Diabetes Association



The American Diabetes Association is seeking to fill an ADA – Novo Nordisk staff attorney position (to work at our home office in Alexandria, VA).  The position plays a critical role in our legal advocacy program -- which fights discrimination against children and adults with diabetes. Our efforts are particularly focused on employment and school issues, but also address access to medical care in correctional institutions and public accommodations and improper police treatment of people with diabetes. The staff attorney will provide information and resources to workers, families of schoolchildren, inmates and their families, attorneys and others – and will work with them to develop strategies to combat discrimination.  



This is a great opportunity to work on a variety of challenging legal projects and to improve the lives of people affected by diabetes. 



Recent law school graduates as well as experienced attorneys are welcome to apply. 




For more information and instructions on applying, please see the job announcement on our website at http://careers.diabetes.org/job_detail.asp?JobID=2218644&user_id 



To learn more about our legal advocacy program, see www.diabetes.org/discrimination.  





Also, please see the current issue of our newsletter at http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/know-your-rights/for-lawyers/legal-advocacy-update.html 



Please distribute this notice to anyone you believe would be interested in this opportunity.



Thanks
