Its about six and a half hours, maybe more.  I do have the extended battery.
I turn the screen brightness down to almost nothing by using the Lenovo
function key and the end key in combination.  I like the Lenovo because it
is so small.  The Lenovo can also be purchased with built in 4g or 3g high
speed wireless, so that is good too.  I've also had Dells that are real
good.  The thing about Dell is that they really have their act together on
service, if you need it.

thanks daniel,
How is the battery life on your machine do you mind my asking.
I have heard you can get up to 7 or 8 hours from a mac. That's a big

Mostly you can't turn them off completely, but you can gain a lot of battery life by turning the brightness down as low 
as it can go.  Most laptops let you switch between your LCD display and an external monitor, but they are smart 
enough to not switch if there is no monitor plugged in.  That isn't to say that there may not be one out there 
somewhere, though.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Hello,
I'm using the Samsung n150 netbook and it has the feature to turn off
the monitor completely.

I asume that Samsung laptops might be having the similar facility as well.
The key stroke is fn key plus f5.

Thanks,
Akhilesh.

Director of Justice and Diversity Programs<https://home.eease.adp.com/recruit/?id=973461>
Justice and Diversity Initiatives
Job Grade E14; Exempt; Full-time; Monday-Friday
Starting Salary Range:  $84,257 - $95,000 DOE+ benefits
(Posted 10/13/11)



Leadership Overview
The two major leadership objectives for this position are to institutionalize and facilitate the WSBA's (1) commitment to diversity and (2) continuing leadership in access to justice and public service related initiatives.  Both objectives are embodied in WSBA's Guiding Principles which include a commitment to operate a well-managed association that will advance and promote access to the justice system, diversity, equality, and cultural understanding throughout the legal community.  The position supervises three program managers representing Diversity, Justice Programs (Access to Justice Board), and Public Service programming.  The position will also staff the Council on Public Defense. This position will be a member of the WSBA executive leadership team with accompanying responsibilities and accountability.



Responsibilities

*         Manage operations in the Justice and Diversity Initiatives Department including budget management and staff supervision which includes hiring, firing, retention, coaching, training, performance evaluations, succession planning, etc.

*         Provide strategic vision, leadership, collaboration, and community-building on diversity issues to both internal and external parties (including direct supervision to the Diversity Program Manager and leadership on diversity related initiatives throughout the entire organization).

*         Provide leadership, strategy, and support to the Justice and Public Service Managers focused on WSBA's public service and access to justice related strategic goals and also in coordination with partners throughout the Alliance for Equal Justice.

*         Provide leadership and staffing to the Council on Public Defense.  Work closely with Council leadership to ensure focused and strategic work is progressing in accordance with BOG direction and budget.

There is a high public relations component to this job:  This position has high visibility and extensive front-line contact with many WSBA members, including the Board of Governors, Access to Justice Board and Committees, presidents and members of minority bar associations, their support staff, and also the public.  This position requires a strategic thinker who is able to make decisions independently, is able to work collaboratively, consistently exercises sound judgment, and is able to implement strategies to accomplish goals and tasks driven by the Board of Governors, WSBA leadership, and external partners.

Qualifications

*         Bachelors and J.D.

*         Experience managing and supervising staff to include staffing, managing performance and resolving performance related issues; coaching; motivating; leading; succession planning; developing departmental organizational structures;  and budgeting.

Has anyone on this web site experienced a particularly 
obtuse mentality with Justia's web site?

 Last year I was laid off from my job, and since then I've been trying to get my online information reset to be accurate.

Justia has me shown as still working at my old office. I have created a new profile for them and have asked them to take down the old information. Their "removal" process isn't what one can call accessible, so I contacted them and asked them to get in touch with me, being blind I'd like to work out how to get the information corrected. This has caused a series of emails where they insist that I do things their way.

I keep telling them that, since the process they want used sin't accessible, why don't they just give me a call so we can work out a more realistic verification method. 

They continue to ignore that simple approach.

Has anyone else experienced this?

New formula slashes Social Security increases

BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER, Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- Just as 55 million Social Security recipients are about to get their first benefit increase in three years, Congress is looking at reducing future raises by adopting a new measure of inflation that also would increase taxes for most families -- the biggest impact falling on those with low incomes.

If adopted across the government, the inflation measure would have widespread ramifications. Future increases in veterans' benefits and pensions for federal workers and military personnel would be smaller. And over time, fewer people would qualify for Medicaid, Head Start, food stamps, school lunch programs and home heating assistance than under the current measure.

Taxes would go up by $60 billion over the next decade because annual adjustments to the tax brackets would be smaller, resulting in more people jumping into higher tax brackets because their wages rose faster than the new inflation measure. Annual increases in the standard deduction and personal exemptions would become smaller.

Despite fierce opposition from seniors groups, the proposal is gaining momentum in part because it would let policymakers gradually cut benefits and increase taxes in a way that might not be readily apparent to most Americans. Changes at first would be small -- the Social Security increase would be cut by just a few dollars in the first year.

But the impact, as well as savings to the government, would grow over time, generating about $200 billion in the first decade and much more after that.

The proposal to adopt a new Consumer Price Index was floated by the Obama administration during deficit reduction talks in the summer. Now, it is one of the few options supported by both Democratic and Republican members of a joint supercommittee in Congress working to reduce government borrowing.

The committee of six Democrats and six Republicans is struggling to come up with a plan to reduce government red ink by at least $1.2 trillion over the next decade. Changing the inflation index alone would put them a sixth of the way there.

"I think the thought process behind this is, slip this in, people won't understand it," said Max Richtman, president and CEO of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.

Richtman's group is spending about $2 million on radio, TV and direct mail ads to fight cuts in Social Security and Medicare. His message to Congress: "Don't believe that taking this approach to cutting Social Security will not be noticed. You will pay for it."

A TV ad by AARP puts it this way: "We are 50 million seniors who earned our benefits, and you will be hearing from us today -- and on Election Day."

The inflation measure under consideration is called the Chained Consumer Price Index, or chained CPI. On average, the measure shows a lower level of inflation than the more widely used CPI for All Urban Consumers.

Many economists argue that the chained CPI is more accurate because it assumes that as prices increase, consumers switch to lower cost alternatives, reducing the amount of inflation they experience.

For example, if the price of beef increases while the price of pork does not, people will buy more pork. Or, as opponents mockingly argue, if the price of home heating oil goes up, people will turn down their heat and wear more sweaters.

A report by the Moment of Truth Project, a group formed to promote the deficit reduction package produced by President Barack Obama's deficit commission late last year, supports a new inflation measure. "Rather than serving to raise taxes and cut benefits, switching to the chained CPI would simply be fulfilling the mission of properly adjusting for cost of living," it argues.

The new measure would reduce Social Security cost-of-living adjustments, or COLAs, by an average of 0.3 percentage points each year, according to the Social Security Administration. Next year's increase, the first since 2009, will be 3.6 percent, starting in January.

Under the chained CPI, yearly benefits for a typical 65-year-old would be about $136 less, according to an analysis of Social Security data. At age 75, annual benefits under the new index would be $560 less. At 85, the cut would be $984 a year, and at 95, the annual income loss would amount to $1,392.

"For someone in the first year, it may not seem a lot," said AARP's David Certner. "But as people get older and then they get poorer and more reliant on Social Security, the cut gradually gets larger and larger."

In all, adopting the chained CPI would reduce Social Security benefits by $112 billion over the next decade. Federal civilian and military pensions would be $24 billion lower, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

If adopted across the government, fewer people would be eligible for many anti-poverty programs because the poverty level also would increase at a lower rate each year. That would result in fewer people living below the official poverty line, despite having the same income.

The tax increases would hit low-income families the hardest, while high-income taxpayers would see smaller changes. The wealthiest taxpayers already pay taxes at the highest marginal rate, currently 35 percent.

For example, by 2021, taxpayers making between $10,000 and $20,000 would see a 14.5 percent increase in their federal taxes with a chained CPI, according to an analysis by the Joint Committee on Taxation. Taxpayers making more than $1 million would get a tax increase of 0.1 percent.

Despite the political backlash, some lawmakers see the new inflation measure as a way to help break the deadlock in Washington over tax increases and cuts in benefit programs. Most Republicans adamantly oppose tax increases, while Democrats have said they won't support benefit cuts without a substantial increase in revenue.

Rep. Xavier Becerra, a California Democrat who serves on the supercommittee, helped lead the fight over the summer against adopting the chained CPI. But in an interview last week, he wouldn't rule out supporting a package that included it.

"If you're going to simply try to save money by changing the CPI, you can do that," Becerra said. "But then be up front and tell seniors what you're doing. You're throwing them under the bus to save money."

This and other attorney vacancy announcements can be found at: 
http://www.usdoj.gov/oarm/attvacancies.html

Department Policies: Assistant United States Attorneys generally must reside 
in the district to which he or she is appointed. See 28 U.S.C. § 545 for 
district-specific information.

All initial attorney appointments to the Department of Justice are made on a 
time-limited (temporary) basis. Temporary appointments may, or may not, be 
extended or made permanent without further competition.

The U.S. Department of Justice is an Equal Opportunity/Reasonable 
Accommodation Employer. Except where otherwise provided by law, there will 
be no discrimination because of color, race, religion, national origin, 
politics, marital status, disability, age, sex, sexual orientation, status 
as a parent, membership or non-membership in an employee organization, or on 
the basis of personal favoritism. The Department of Justice welcomes and 
encourages applications from persons with physical and mental disabilities. 
The Department is firmly committed to satisfying its affirmative obligations 
under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, to ensure that persons with 
disabilities have every opportunity to be hired and advanced on the basis of 
merit within the Department of Justice. This agency provides reasonable 
accommodation to applicants with disabilities where appropriate. If you need 
a reasonable accommodation for any part of the application and hiring 
process, please notify the agency. Determinations on requests for reasonable 
accommodation will be made on a case-by-case basis.

It is the policy of the Department to achieve a drug-free workplace and 
persons selected for employment will be required to pass a drug test which 
screens for illegal drug use prior to final appointment. Employment is also 
contingent upon the completion and satisfactory adjudication of a background 
investigation. Only U.S. citizens are eligible for employment with the 
Executive Office for Immigration Review and the United States Attorneys' 
Offices. Unless otherwise indicated in a particular job advertisement, 
non-U.S. Citizens may apply for employment with other organizations, but 
should be advised that appointments of non-U.S. Citizens are extremely rare; 
such appointments would be possible only if necessary to accomplish the 
Department's mission and would be subject to strict security requirements. 
Applicants who hold dual citizenship in the U.S. and another country will be 
considered on a case-by-case basis.

There is no formal rating system for applying veterans' preference to 
attorney appointments in the excepted service; however, the Department of 
Justice considers veterans' preference eligibility as a positive factor in 
attorney hiring. Applicants eligible for veterans' preference must include 
that information in their cover letter or resume and attach supporting 
documentation (e.g., the DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from 
Active Duty and other supporting documentation) to their submissions. 
Although the "point" system is not used, per se, applicants eligible to 
claim 10-point preference must submit Standard Form (SF) 15, Application for 
10-Point Veteran Preference, and submit the supporting documentation 
required for the specific type of preference claimed (visit the OPM website, 
http://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/SF15.pdf for a copy of SF 15, which lists 
the types of 10-point preferences and the required supporting documents). 
Applicants should note that SF 15 requires supporting documentation 
associated with service-connected disabilities or receipt of 
nonservice-connected disability pensions to be dated 1991 or later except in 
the case of service members submitting official statements or retirement 
orders from a branch of the Armed Forces showing that his or her retirement 
was due to a permanent service-connected disability or that he/she was 
transferred to the permanent disability retired list (the statement or 
retirement orders must indicate that the disability is 10% or more).

Hi all!  I'm a paralegal working for an attorney who lives in BC but
practices law in the United States.  She wants to prepare for the Canadian
Bar Exam and I am assisting her.  She is legally blind and has to study the

how I can get a hold of the following in .pdf:

Also looking for the *latest criminal code* in English only.  I have a

French.

Thank you!

At my college, you can have the spine cut off any textbook and use a special bulk scanner to scan the entire book to PDF. Perhaps a university in her area might have the same, if no other option presents itself...

Hi you should e-mail the publishers and ask them for electronic
versions, if nothing else works. Some are helpful, some are not.

Come to think of it, I've gone there and this is what I found:
***
ASSISTANT UNITED STATES ATTORNEY
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
Announcement Number 11-SDFL-AUSA-07 posted 11/8/11


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

Recruitment Efforts: We are currently seeking experienced civil litigators
to handle Civil Health Care Fraud and/or Affirmative Civil Enforcement cases
in our Miami Office.

About the Office: The United States Attorney's Office (USAO), Southern
District of Florida (SDFL), is seeking experienced attorneys to serve as
Assistant United States Attorneys in the Civil Division of one of the
largest USAOs in the nation. USAO/SDFL is a leader in the prosecution of
health care fraud, bank and other white collar frauds, narcotics offenses,
human trafficking cases, public corruption, and national security matters. 
Divisions include: Appellate, Asset Forfeiture, Civil and Criminal. There
are also three branch offices located in Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and
Ft. Pierce.

Responsibilities and Opportunity Offered: The applicant selected will
primarily concentrate on Affirmative Civil Enforcement (ACE) cases and
matters. ACE litigation includes, but is not limited to: Health Care Fraud
(HCF); Qui Tam litigation; and Program Fraud or Program Enforcement
(mortgage fraud, federal grant fraud, etc.). The applicant selected will
work closely with federal and state law enforcement agents and auditors,
attorneys in the Commercial Litigation Branch of the Civil Division, Main
DOJ, and AUSAs in the Criminal Division of the USAO SD Florida. Applicants
must be able to work effectively as a team member, as well as independently.

Litigation experience such as taking depositions, conducting hearings and
trials, and a working knowledge of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and
Evidence are preferred. Fraud and False Claims Act cases handled by Civil
Division ACE AUSAs in the past year have resulted in collections on behalf
of the federal government of over $175 million. The applicant selected will
also be assigned some defensive cases and matters, but the majority of the
workload will be complex affirmative cases and matters. While the duty
station of the assigned ACE AUSA is in Miami, the AUSA will handle ACE/HCF
litigation in all offices within the Southern District of Florida.

Qualifications: Required qualifications: Applicants must possess a J.D. 
degree, be an active member of the bar (any jurisdiction), and have at least
1 year post-J.D. experience.

Preferred qualifications: Preferred applicants will possess superior oral
and written communication skills, as well as strong interpersonal skills;
have demonstrated capacity to function, with minimal guidance, in a highly
demanding environment. Additionally, it is desired that the successful
candidate have strong academic credentials and at least three years of post
J.D. experience.

Travel: Some travel may be necessary.

Salary Information: Assistant United States Attorneys' pay is
administratively determined based, in part, on the number years of
professional attorney experience. The current recruiting range of pay is up
to $155,400 including locality pay.

Location: Miami, Florida.

Relocation Expenses: Relocation expenses will not be authorized.

Application Process and Deadline Date: Cover letter, resume and writing
sample may be submitted by e-mail to USAFLS-AUSAResumes at usdoj.gov

OR by mail to the following address:

United States Attorney's Office
Southern District of Florida
Attention: Attorney Recruitment
99 N.E. 4th Street
Miami, Fl 33132

No telephone calls please. Announcement is open until 11/22/11.

Internet Sites: The home page for the U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern
District of Florida, may be accessed at: http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/fls/

This and other attorney vacancy announcements can be found at: 
http://www.usdoj.gov/oarm/attvacancies.html

Department Policies: Assistant United States Attorneys generally must reside
in the district to which he or she is appointed. See 28 U.S.C. § 545 for
district-specific information.

All initial attorney appointments to the Department of Justice are made on a
time-limited (temporary) basis. Temporary appointments may, or may not, be
extended or made permanent without further competition.

The U.S. Department of Justice is an Equal Opportunity/Reasonable
Accommodation Employer. Except where otherwise provided by law, there will
be no discrimination because of color, race, religion, national origin,
politics, marital status, disability, age, sex, sexual orientation, status
as a parent, membership or non-membership in an employee organization, or on
the basis of personal favoritism. The Department of Justice welcomes and
encourages applications from persons with physical and mental disabilities. 
The Department is firmly committed to satisfying its affirmative obligations
under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, to ensure that persons with
disabilities have every opportunity to be hired and advanced on the basis of
merit within the Department of Justice. This agency provides reasonable
accommodation to applicants with disabilities where appropriate. If you need
a reasonable accommodation for any part of the application and hiring
process, please notify the agency. Determinations on requests for reasonable
accommodation will be made on a case-by-case basis.

It is the policy of the Department to achieve a drug-free workplace and
persons selected for employment will be required to pass a drug test which
screens for illegal drug use prior to final appointment. Employment is also
contingent upon the completion and satisfactory adjudication of a background
investigation. Only U.S. citizens are eligible for employment with the
Executive Office for Immigration Review and the United States Attorneys' 
Offices. Unless otherwise indicated in a particular job advertisement,
non-U.S. Citizens may apply for employment with other organizations, but
should be advised that appointments of non-U.S. Citizens are extremely rare;
such appointments would be possible only if necessary to accomplish the
Department's mission and would be subject to strict security requirements. 
Applicants who hold dual citizenship in the U.S. and another country will be
considered on a case-by-case basis.

There is no formal rating system for applying veterans' preference to
attorney appointments in the excepted service; however, the Department of
Justice considers veterans' preference eligibility as a positive factor in
attorney hiring. Applicants eligible for veterans' preference must include
that information in their cover letter or resume and attach supporting
documentation (e.g., the DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from
Active Duty and other supporting documentation) to their submissions. 
Although the "point" system is not used, per se, applicants eligible to
claim 10-point preference must submit Standard Form (SF) 15, Application for
10-Point Veteran Preference, and submit the supporting documentation
required for the specific type of preference claimed (visit the OPM website,
http://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/SF15.pdf for a copy of SF 15, which lists
the types of 10-point preferences and the required supporting documents). 
Applicants should note that SF 15 requires supporting documentation
associated with service-connected disabilities or receipt of
nonservice-connected disability pensions to be dated 1991 or later except in
the case of service members submitting official statements or retirement
orders from a branch of the Armed Forces showing that his or her retirement
was due to a permanent service-connected disability or that he/she was
transferred to the permanent disability retired list (the statement or
retirement orders must indicate that the disability is 10% or more).

* * *

The Department of Justice cannot control further dissemination and/or
posting of information contained in this vacancy announcement. Such posting
and/or dissemination is not an endorsement by the Department of the
organization or group disseminating and/or posting the information.

Hi, Bill:

The posting below was just forwarded to me.  It's a great opportunity for law students in/around San Francisco.  I know the deadline (November 15) is quickly approaching, but if you haven't already could you please forward this to the CMPDL listserve?

Thank you!

LAW CLERK, SPRING 2012

The Equal Justice Society has law clerk positions available for Spring Semester 2012 at our office in San Francisco. The positions are open to law students who have completed at least their first year of law school. EJS law clerks participate in legal research, writing, and analysis in the areas of civil rights and racial justice.

EJS is a national legal organization focused on restoring Constitutional safeguards against discrimination. Our goal is to help achieve a society where race is no longer a barrier to opportunity. We use a three-pronged approach-combining legal advocacy, outreach and coalition building, and education through effective messaging and communication strategies-to reverse those laws and policies that erode 14th Amendment protections.

Our legal strategy aims to broaden conceptions of present-day discrimination to include unconscious and structural bias by using cognitive science, structural analysis, and real-life experience. Currently, EJS targets its advocacy efforts on the death penalty, municipal disparities, and inequities in the judicial system.

LOCATION
San Francisco, California

COMPENSATION
At this time we are not able to offer paid positions. Academic credit may be available through your law school.

DEADLINE
November 15, 2011
* Applications must be received in the office, not postmarked, by the dates listed.
* Positions will be filled on a rolling basis; early applications are welcome and will be reviewed as they are received.

Sure. I just realized that these nooks are in audio, not PDF, format. I found them incredibly useful, though.

You have to be a U.S. citizen to use Learning Ally.  They don't serve blind

Hi Everyone:

Sometime back, I read here that there was some kind of a settlement with 
Wells Fargo regarding the availability of accessible and or talking ATM's. 
I've not had a chance to play with Wells Fargo's ATM's; however, I do 
present before its tellers regularly.

After swiping your Wells Fargo debit card, you can't ENTER YOUR PIN NUMBER 
without sighted assistance.  Why?  Because it is a TOUCH PAD with NO RAISED 
BUTTONS like those on a regular phone pad.

My question then is:  Does the agreement not apply to equipment used by 
Wells Fargo's tellers?  Yet another question:  Will it take another legal 
action to have Wells Fargo truly comply with ADA provisions as it relates to 
accessibility?

Let's all brainstorm on this and hopefully we can come up with a solution 
worth suggesting to Wells Fargo because I sure hate SHOUTING OUT my PIN 
number when standing in front of the teller!

Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado

Remember that unless the teller's terminal has somehow been compromised 
or you are mugged on your way out of the bank, your four-digit PIN is of 
no use to anyone.  It won't help you much to make the PIN entry 
accessible if other aspect of the transaction are not.  You still would 
have to select the account from which you want to withdraw, the dollar 
amount you will be walking out of the bank with, and anything else that 
gets asked..  I believe that the touch pads are regarded as being more 
secure because the numbers are laid out in such a way that their entry 
can't be observed by bystanders.  Otherwise, someone watching you from 
behind could simply steal or make you hand over your card when you left 
the bank, along with the money you just withdrew.  If you're worried 
about disclosing your PIN, you can, under most debit cards, process it 
as a credit transaction.

Cordially,
Bill

I think that Equip For Equality, here in Chicago, is discussing changes with 
them, but as you can imagine it will require updates to the hardware to add 
a physical keypad like most other machines have even though they have a 
touch screen.  They have had some success with other large banks in 
remedies.

Do you know if these touch keypads are true touchpads where keys can be relocated by software or whether 
they are truly flat keypads with fixed locations?  If the latter, an overlay of some kind would probably 
be adequate short of requiring different hardware and depending upon whether the keys are activated by 
pressure or proximity.  It has become a fact of life that sometimes the actual location of keys is 
randomized to prevent the same pattern of motion from implying the same pattern of numbers.  We simply 
do not have an answer to that sort of system.  The whole issue of security is one that is often at odds 
with our ability to interact with such systems.

Best regarsds,

Commission Name Change

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

We are proud to announce that the American Bar Association's Commission on Mental and Physical Disability Law has changed its name to the Commission on Disability Rights (CDR).

CDR is one of the oldest and storied entities within the Association. Created in 1973 as the Commission on the Mentally Disabled, CDR was the first of what would become the 's group of diversity commissions intended to promote Goal III (Eliminate Bias and Enhance Diversity). From 1973 up until 1991, the Commission on the Mentally Disabled responded to the advocacy needs of persons with mental disabilities. Adapting to social and political change, the CDR changed its name in 1991 to the Commission on Mental and Physical Disability Law after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It no longer focused exclusively on individuals with mental health impairments, recognizing that the civil rights movement, as it applied to those with disabilities, encompassed people with sensory and physical impairments.

At our meeting this past fall in [sic], the Commission's members recognized that what's in a name is actually quite important and voted unanimously to change our name. Our new name better reflects the Commission's dual mission: (1) to "promote the [sic] 's commitment to justice and the rule of law for persons with mental, physical, and sensory disabilities and (2) to promote their full and equal participation in the legal profession."

The Commission advocates for the legal rights of persons with disabilities, seeking to eliminate the obstacles created by stigma and prejudice based on stereotypes and to ensure their equal participation and meaningful inclusion in society. Working within its new Committee structure, the CDR will continue to advocate for equal opportunities and equal rights for persons with disabilities to work, be educated, live independently, make their own decisions, have access to governmental services, private businesses, and places of public accommodation, and be free of discrimination, abuse, and neglect. CDR's new programs and initiatives will help ensure that civil rights encompass the rights of persons with disabilities.

Of equal importance, the CDR, in keeping with the 's role as the national representative of the legal profession and its longstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion in the profession, is committed to eliminating bias, enhancing diversity, and advancing the full and equal participation of law students and lawyers with disabilities in the profession. Our goal is to make disability a vital component of all diversity programs, events, and activities and to support law firms and other legal employers, state and local bars, and law schools in their diversity and inclusion efforts.

To effectuate change and promote progress, CDR realizes that it will take everyone working together to champion the rights of persons with disabilities. New advances in technology allow our efforts to reach far and wide.  As the Commission moves into its next generation of service, we hope you will join us and be part of our community of advocacy, education, working for and advancing the interests of persons with disabilities.

Sincerely,

Katherine H. O'Neil, Chair
Commission on Disability Rights

           Wednesday, November 16, 2011 
                    Hello,

                  Please circulate to those who may be interested in applying for a White House internship. To learn more, read the full blog post here.

                  Apply Today for the White House Internship Program

                  Posted by Christian Peele, Director of the White House Internship Program

                  So, what’s a typical day like for a White House Intern?

                  It’s a question I’m often asked, and the honest answer is that there’s no such thing. The mission of the White House Internship Program is to make the "People’s House" accessible to future leaders from around the nation, and to cultivate and prepare those devoted to public service for future leadership opportunities. To this end, the programs and opportunities of the Internship Program make for days filled with unique learning experiences, thought-provoking conversation, and unforgettable events.

                  White House Interns work in one of sixteen White House departments  where they conduct research, manage incoming inquiries, attend meetings, write memos and staff events. Some of the offices where they work include the Office of the First Lady, the Office of Scheduling and Advance, the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, the Office of the White House Counsel, the National Economic Council, the Office of Communications, the Domestic Policy Council and the Office of Digital Strategy.

                  In addition to their regular duties, each week, White House Interns hear from senior members of the Administration including the First Lady, the Chief of Staff and the White House Counsel. They meet in small groups to discuss policy issues and take off-site field trips to learn more about Washington, D.C. They participate in service projects at non-profits and schools. Not to mention, they spend three months alongside other Interns who are devoted to public service and with whom they build long-lasting friendships.

                  Today we open the application for the Summer 2012 White House Internship Program. The summer program runs from May 29, 2012 through August 10, 2012, and the application deadline is January 22, 2012.

                  If you are interested in public service – apply.

                  Tell other young leaders who are interested in public service to apply.

                  Be part of a program where there’s no typical day, and where young people from across the country dedicate their time, talents, and energy to better the White House, the community, and the nation.

                  Christian Peele is the Director of the White House Internship Program.

Hi Kathy:
You will find that posting together with other California postings at:
http://www.justice.gov/careers/legal/attvacancies.html
That web page might not be the most user friendly, so when you get there use 
"California" as the search term and you should get at least two postings, 
the one in San Francisco and the one in Sacrmento.
Good luck.
Ross

Hi Ross:

Thanks much. My specific next step is to search for entry level or lawyer
trainee positions in labor relations, contracts, or EEO to capitalize on my
dispute resolution background and interest in employment law.
I appreciate any assistance you may be able to offer on this project. I will
be sworn in on December 5. Please let me know if additional information
would be helpful.

Cathryn Bonnette

start the hearing process which should have been explained to you by your 
counselor. You have a right to appeal any decision made by a state agency 
and eventually you have the right to go to court. you may also need to find 
another expert doctor that will be able to state that you are capable of 
pursuing a career in social work. It is going to take some work on your part 
to show that you are capable of attaining this goal. Additionally it would 
be a good idea to start volunteering in a setting where you would have some

Thanks, Chuck.  Who should I talk to, any of you Coloradoans, 
about getting the hearing process started?  The thing is that the 
report said I had a lot of discontent with my family, which 
stemmed from the whole guardianship thing which has plagued my 
life, stpped a marriage, and could potentially ruin my career.  
So who do I talk to?  Thanks.
Beth

start the hearing process which should have been explained to you 
by your
counselor. You have a right to appeal any decision made by a 
state agency
and eventually you have the right to go to court. you may also 
need to find
another expert doctor that will be able to state that you are 
capable of
pursuing a career in social work. It is going to take some work 
on your part
to show that you are capable of attaining this goal. Additionally 
it would
be a good idea to start volunteering in a setting where you would 
have some
client contact to demonstrate your abilities.

ASSISTANT UNITED STATES ATTORNEY
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE 
DISTRICT OF UTAH
12-UT-02


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About the Office: The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Utah has one opening for an Assistant United States Attorney. 

Responsibilities and Opportunity Offered: This position is located in the Asset Forfeiture Unit of the Criminal Division which uses criminal and civil forfeiture actions to forfeit real property, currency, vehicles, and other items of value. Forfeiture actions disrupt and deter criminal activity, dismantle criminal enterprises, deprive criminals and their associates of the profits from their illegal activities, and secure funds for restitution to victims. The cases typically arise from major narcotics cases involving drug trafficking organizations, federal firearms offenses, computer crimes, tax violations, sophisticated white collar fraud offenses and money laundering. The Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) will be responsible for representing the United States, its agencies and officials in all aspects of federal criminal and civil forfeiture litigation, including the investigation of cases, preparation and filing of pleadings, management of discovery, briefing and argument of motions, and participation in all related hearings and trials.

Qualifications: Applicants must possess a J.D. degree, be an active member of the bar (any jurisdiction), and have at least one year post-J.D. experience. Ideal qualifications include experience involving asset forfeiture aspects of cases and at least 5 to 9 years of post-J.D. litigation experience. 

Applicants must demonstrate a quick analytical ability and the facility to accurately and precisely articulate the critical issues in a case. Applicants must demonstrate superior oral and writing skills as well as strong research and interpersonal skills, and good judgment. Applicants must possess excellent communication and courtroom skills and exhibit the ability to work in a supportive and professional manner with other attorneys, support staff and client agencies. Applicants must have a demonstrated capacity to function, with minimal guidance, in a highly demanding environment.

Travel: Occasional travel may be required.

Salary Information: Assistant United States Attorneys' pay is administratively determined based, in part, on the number years of professional attorney experience and availability of funds. The range of basic pay is $44,581 to $117,994 plus locality pay where authorized. 

Location: Salt Lake City, Utah

Relocation Expenses: Relocation expenses are not authorized.

Application Process and Deadline Date: Please submit a resume and cover letter to the United States Attorney's Office, ATTN: Danna Reichert, 185 South State Street, Suite 300, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111. No telephone calls please. Applications must be postmarked no later than December 5, 2011.

Internet Sites: This and other vacancy announcements can be found at: 
EOUSA Employment Opportunities (http://dojnet.doj.gov/usao/eousa/vacancies/index.html) and
http://www.justice.gov/oarm/attvacancies.html 

Department Policies: Assistant United States Attorneys generally must reside in the district to which he or she is appointed. See 28 U.S.C. § 545 for district-specific information.

All initial attorney appointments to the Department of Justice are made on a time-limited (temporary) basis. Temporary appointments may, or may not, be extended or made permanent without further competition.

The U.S. Department of Justice is an Equal Opportunity/Reasonable Accommodation Employer. Except where otherwise provided by law, there will be no discrimination because of color, race, religion, national origin, political affiliation, marital status, disability (physical or mental), age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, genetic information, status as a parent, membership or non-membership in an employee organization, or on the basis of personal favoritism, or any non merit factor. The Department of Justice welcomes and encourages applications from persons with physical and mental disabilities. The Department is firmly committed to satisfying its affirmative obligations under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, to ensure that persons with disabilities have every opportunity to be hired and advanced on the basis of merit within the Department of Justice. This agency provides reasonable accommodation to applicants with disabilities where appropriate. If you need a reasonable accommodation for any part of the application and hiring process, please notify the agency. Determinations on requests for reasonable accommodation will be made on a case-by-case basis. 

It is the policy of the Department to achieve a drug-free workplace and persons selected for employment will be required to pass a drug test which screens for illegal drug use prior to final appointment. Employment is also contingent upon the completion and satisfactory adjudication of a background investigation. Only U.S. citizens are eligible for employment with the Executive Office for Immigration Review and the United States Attorneys' Offices. Unless otherwise indicated in a particular job advertisement, non-U.S. Citizens may apply for employment with other organizations, but should be advised that appointments of non-U.S. Citizens are extremely rare; such appointments would be possible only if necessary to accomplish the Department's mission and would be subject to strict security requirements. Applicants who hold dual citizenship in the U.S. and another country will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

There is no formal rating system for applying veterans' preference to attorney appointments in the excepted service; however, the Department of Justice considers veterans' preference eligibility as a positive factor in attorney hiring. Applicants eligible for veterans' preference must include that information in their cover letter or resume and attach supporting documentation (e.g., the DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty and other supporting documentation) to their submissions. Although the "point" system is not used, per se, applicants eligible to claim 10-point preference must submit Standard Form (SF) 15, Application for 10-Point Veteran Preference, and submit the supporting documentation required for the specific type of preference claimed (visit the OPM website, http://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/SF15.pdf for a copy of SF 15, which lists the types of 10point preferences and the required supporting document(s). Applicants should note that SF 15 requires supporting documentation associated with service-connected disabilities or receipt of nonservice-connected disability pensions to be dated 1991 or later except in the case of service members submitting official statements or retirement orders from a branch of the Armed Forces showing that his or her retirement was due to a permanent service-connected disability or that he/she was transferred to the permanent disability retired list (the statement or retirement orders must indicate that the disability is 10% or more).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
(Please refer to Instructions for Filing Resolutions with Reports for completing this form.)
1.
Summary of the Resolution
Under the Commission on Disability Right's (CDR) resolution the ABA would urge entities that administer law school admissions tests to provide accommodations that best ensure that the skills of the test-takers are measured, and not their disabilities. It would further urge that the process for determining whether to grant an accommodation be made public; a decision on approving an accommodation be conveyed to the applicant within a reasonable amount of time; and that there be a fair appeals process for a denied accommodation. The resolution also urges testing entities to not flag scores that have received a disability-based accommodation.
2.
Summary of the Issue that the Resolution Addresses
Since 2007, CDR has noted and compiled various problems individuals with disabilities have identified with regard to law school admissions tests. Reports and law suits brought to CDR's attention have shown that the process to apply for and obtain accommodations is often difficult and sometimes legitimate requests are denied. For example, many applicants are put through a burdensome process or are denied accommodations that they have been receiving in school for years. If an applicant is granted extra time as accommodation, his or her score is then "flagged" as achieved under special circumstances, which raises unfair questions about the score's legitimacy.
3.
Please Explain How the Proposed Policy Position will address the issue
This position takes note of regulations issued by the Department of Justice regarding the examination and testing provision of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The intent is to ensure that deserving applicants are given accommodations that only test aptitude and do not test or highlight the person's disability. The resolution addresses portions of the accommodations process-i.e., administrative procedures, timeliness, and appeals-that have been noted by many in the disability community as problematic areas of the process. Finally, the position directly addresses the unfair practice of "flagging" by urging for its removal in the law school admissions testing process, a position already taken by most entities who administer admissions tests in other fields.

REPORT
Introduction
The ABA's Goal III calls on the legal profession to eliminate bias and to enhance diversity, including for persons with disabilities. In spite of these assurances, the testing process for law school admission remains an obstacle to the full and equal participation of individuals with disabilities in the legal profession. Students with disabilities are substantially underrepresented in law schools across the country.1 In part, this is due to the fact that the testing process relied upon by most law schools in the United States does not afford the same benefits to applicants with disabilities that it affords to other applicants.
The proposed resolution urges any entity that administers a law school admission test to ensure that law school applicants with disabilities are given no less than the accommodations that federal law requires, including, where appropriate, removal of architectural and communication barriers, modification of rules, practices and procedures, and provision of auxiliary aids and services.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), enacted in 1990, introduced a new way of looking at what it means to discriminate. For people with disabilities, affording identical treatment to all does not confer equal access to proceedings, programs, and activities. The person with deafness, the person with blindness, the person who uses a wheelchair, or the person with dyslexia might be excluded unless accommodations are made for his or her unique needs.
The proposed resolution also urges any entity that administers, scores, or reports a law school admission test to take steps to ensure that the application process, the scoring of the test, and the reporting of test scores do not discriminate based on disability, in particular that scores not be differentiated on the basis of whether an individual received any type of accommodation for a disability. It further urges any entity that administers a law school admission test to make public the policies, guidelines, and administrative procedures used for granting accommodations requested by those with disabilities; to give notice to applicants within a reasonable period of time whether requested accommodations have been granted; and to provide a fair process for timely reconsideration of the denial of requested accommodations.
For many years, the ABA has been committed to going beyond what the law requires in providing accommodations to lawyers, judges and law students with disabilities. In 1989, the ABA adopted policy supporting in principle proposed legislation that became the ADA. In 1997, the ABA approved a policy calling upon all courts to provide qualified language interpreters, including sign language interpreters, for persons who are deaf or hard of hearing. Policy adopted in 1998 urges that any nominating or evaluating entity, when making character and fitness determinations of state judicial candidates, narrowly tailor its questions concerning
1 While persons with disabilities represent nearly 20% of the population, a much smaller percentage are found in our law schools. While there is no accurate count, because tracking based on disability lags well behind such statistics for race, ethnicity and gender, we do know that only 3.4% of law students requested accommodations for the 20092010 school year.

physical and mental disabilities or physical and mental health treatment in order to focus its inquiries on information relevant to a candidate's current fitness to serve as a judge, with such reasonable modifications as might be required. In 2002, the ABA adopted policy urging all federal, state and municipal courts to make courthouses and court proceedings accessible to individuals with disabilities, including lawyers, judges, jurors, litigants, witnesses, and observers, in order to ensure equal access to justice and compliance with the ADA. The policy also recommended that each courthouse appoint a disability accommodations coordinator to develop procedures for receiving requests for accommodations from individuals with disabilities and for responding creatively with reasonable accommodations that meet the needs of the individual, including removal of architectural barriers, modification of rules and practices, and provision of auxiliary aids and services.
The proposed resolution builds upon these existing policies by urging entities that administer law school admission tests to take specific steps to ensure that applicants with disabilities have equal access to legal education. The resolution is necessary because existing resolutions are incomplete in their application to the law school admission process and because developments in the 20 years since passage of the ADA have resulted in a wealth of experience that entities can draw upon to implement more effective programs.
Background
An individual who wishes to attend an ABA-accredited law school must take an admission test before entry. In order for a law school to become one of the over 195 ABA-approved law schools, an academic institution must adhere to standards promulgated by the Council of the ABA's Section of Legal Education & Admissions to the Bar (Council). The Council is identified by the U.S. Department of Education as the national accrediting agency for professional law schools. Although there is a process for consultation with the ABA House of Delegates on accreditation matters, decisions of the Council are final.2 According to the Council's ABA Standards and Rules of Procedure for Approval of Law Schools (Standards), a law school must have an admission test which is "a valid and reliable admission test to assist the school and the applicant in assessing the applicant's capability of satisfactorily completing the school's educational program."3
Standard 503 of the Standards requires that, "In making admission decisions, a law school shall use the test results in a manner that is consistent with the current guidelines regarding proper use of the test results provided by the agency that developed the test."4
Presently, the only nationally-administered test available for such a purpose is the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). In its current state, the LSAT is a timed test with four scored and one unscored multiple choice sections. Each section is thirty-five minutes long. There is one reading comprehension section, one analytical reasoning section, and two logical reasoning/games sections. The LSAT is administered by the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC), a nonprofit organization. Although the Section Council does not endorse a particular admission test

nor does it have official ties with the LSAC, it does acknowledge the LSAT in the Standard's Interpretation 503-1 which states:
A law school that uses an admission test other than the Law School Admission Test sponsored by the Law School Admission Council shall establish that such other test is a valid and reliable test to assist the school in assessing an applicant's capability to satisfactorily complete the school's educational program.
The proposed resolution is not intended to apply only to the LSAC, but is meant to cover any and all entities that administer a law school admission test.
Flagging
The Standards append the guidelines developed by the LSAC regarding proper use of the test results as "Appendix 2: LSAC Cautionary Policies Concerning LSAT Scores." The cautionary policies single out LSAT scores earned under accommodated or nonstandard conditions. The policy states:
Carefully evaluate LSAT scores earned under accommodated or nonstandard conditions.
LSAC has no data to demonstrate that scores earned under accommodated conditions have the same meaning as scores earned under standard conditions. Because the LSAT has not been validated in its various accommodated forms, accommodated tests are identified as nonstandard and an individual's scores from accommodated tests are not averaged with scores from tests taken under standard conditions.
According to the LSAC's website, an applicant registered to take the LSAT must complete a packet. The packet contains forms to be filled out by the applicant and an evaluator describing and documenting the applicant's disability as well as the accommodation(s) requested by the applicant.5 The LSAC has reported that, on average, 1,960 applicants requested an accommodation per testing year between 2002 and 2007.6 Furthermore, during that timeframe, the majority of accommodations given, 67%, were for extra testing time, extra rest time, or a separate testing room.7 An applicant who is granted extra time as an accommodation typically received up to time-and-a-half for the test.8 When extra time is given as an accommodation, the score is reported individually and the person does not receive a percentile rating. The LSAC sends a letter to the law school notifying the institution of this practice and that the score attained with the extra time is "nonstandard." This procedure is commonly called "flagging" a score.
A consensus within the testing and academic communities recognizes that extra time for those with learning disabilities and some other disabilities is an acceptable accommodation for an entrance examination, although there continues to be disagreement about the amount of extra

time that should be granted. For example, the LSAC typically grants at most time-and-a-half, while the College Board (which administers the SAT, PSAT, and Advanced Placement tests) gives up to double the amount of time. Yet when an accommodated score is labeled as "nonstandard" or when a testing agency tells the academic program that the score does not conform to the scores of students who were not given accommodations, the student with the accommodated score is placed at a serious disadvantage. There are serious policy, ethical, and social problems involved with flagged scores, including disregard for an applicant's desire not to have his or her disability revealed and the potential attachment of a stigma during the admission process. If scores are to be flagged, it should be done with the consent of the applicant.
Pursuant to a federal court case dealing with flagged SAT scores,9 a Blue Ribbon Panel of experts was convened to study whether flagged/accommodated SAT scores were comparable, and as valid as, non-accommodated SAT scores. The Panel's majority concluded that the SAT scores of accommodated tests had results equivalent to tests with no accommodations.10 Educational Testing Service (ETS), the entity which oversees administration of the SAT, has found there is a positive correlation between tests with extra time given and achievement in college; in other words, SAT scores of those with extra time as an accommodation "were fairly accurate predictors of [first year grade point averages] for students with learning disabilities."11 Therefore, in 2003, the College Board abandoned the flagging of test scores that had extra time as an accommodation. Following the College Board's lead, American College Testing, Inc., halted flagging of the ACT test shortly thereafter.
There is a growing body of case law dealing with the granting of accommodations for and the flagging of law school admission tests. Additionally, there are numerous lawsuits involving the LSAC and other graduate school-related testing agencies that have been settled out of court. Most agreements are with individual plaintiffs and involve making accommodations for one applicant which expire after the applicant takes the test. In recent years, two larger settlement agreements were reached between the LSAC and both the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the National Federation of the Blind (NFB). The agreement with DOJ dealt primarily with the review process of accommodation requests. The agreement with the NFB is tailored towards accommodations for those with visual impairments.
Accommodations
Judge David S. Tatel, who is blind, described how accommodations made it possible for him to serve as Judge on the U. S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in an address to the National Conference on the Employment of Lawyers with Disabilities, co-sponsored by the ABA Commission on Mental & Physical Disability Law, the ABA Office of the President and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2006. Judge Tatel described how the use of a

reader, Braille Speak for note-taking, and other accommodations eliminated the impact of his disability on his work. He added:
One of the most interesting things I noticed in my law firm, and I now notice on my court, is the extent to which the institution subconsciously accommodates to the needs of people with disabilities. When I first started people had never worked with a blind lawyer, and there were awkward moments. There were periods of time I would go to a meeting and people were talking about a document that I might not have seen ahead of time. People would be silently reading it, and I would clear my throat until finally one person would get the point and start reading aloud. Well, after a couple of years, people began to read things out loud just on their own. It became second nature. The same thing happened on the D.C. Circuit.12
In the landmark case of Tennessee v. Lane, the Supreme Court highlighted the importance of providing accommodations so as to prevent exclusion:
The unequal treatment of disabled persons in the administration of judicial services has a long history, and has persisted despite several legislative efforts to remedy the problem of disability discrimination. Faced with considerable evidence of the shortcomings of previous legislative responses, Congress was justified in concluding that this "difficult and intractable proble[m]" warranted "added prophylactic measures in response." . . . Recognizing that failure to accommodate persons with disabilities will often have the same practical effect as outright exclusion, Congress required the States to take reasonable measures to remove architectural and other barriers to accessibility.
Accommodations, when needed, are essential to prevent discrimination against individuals with disabilities. Congress recognized this in the context of high stakes testing when it enacted the ADA. Title III of the ADA codifies the concept that it is discriminatory not to "offer such examinations or courses in a place and manner accessible to persons with disabilities or offer alternative accessible arrangements for such individuals."13 Moreover, DOJ regulations implementing ADA Title III state that a test-administering entity shall make sure that:
[t]he examination is selected and administered so as to best ensure that, when the examination is administered to an individual with a disability that impairs sensory, manual, or speaking skills, the examination results accurately reflect the individual's aptitude or achievement level or whatever other factor the examination purports to measure, rather than reflecting the individual's [disability.]14
Furthermore, private entities that offer admission testing are required to:
12 THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE EMPLOYMENT OF LAWYERS WITH DISABILITIES: A REPORT FROM THE
AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION FOR THE LEGAL PROFESSION, at 30-31 (2006)
13 See 42 USC §12189.
14 28 C.F.R. § 36.309(b)(1)(1).
5
provide appropriate auxiliary aids for persons with impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills, unless that entity can demonstrate that offering a particular auxiliary aid would fundamentally alter the measurement of the skills or knowledge the examination is intended to test or would result in an undue burden.15
Because ending discrimination requires accommodation of individual needs, determining what accommodations "best ensure" equality in a given instance requires a fact-specific, individualized analysis of the test taker's circumstances.16 Regulations regarding testing and accommodations under the ADA, recently released by the DOJ, underscore the importance of this process and stress the importance of having the testing agency: request documentation of an impairment in a reasonable manner; give considerable weight to documentation of previously used accommodations; and work with the applicant in a timely manner.17
Law school entrance examinations are high stakes tests. The Attorney General, in issuing the regulations on testing accommodations, recognized this fact noting "the importance of ensuring that the key gateways to education and employment are open to individuals with disabilities."18 An "accessible" exam must provide a qualified individual with a disability an opportunity to demonstrate his or her knowledge and ability equal to that which it extends to other test takers.19
Moreover, law school entrance examinations will continue to be relied on by most law schools even if the ABA decides no longer to make them a mandatory requirement in order to receive ABA-accreditation. They not only help to determine whether an applicant is admitted to law school, but whether an applicant will receive financial support and has access to the nation's leading law schools. Admission to a prestigious law school is more than an economic benefit for a student. Attending a prestigious law school opens up opportunities in government and public life, prestigious private law firms, judicial clerkships in higher courts, and access to judicial appointments at the highest levels later in life. The U.S. Supreme Court recognized the significance of gaining admission to the leading law schools in Grutter v. Bollinger:
Individuals with law degrees occupy roughly half the state governorships, more than half the seats in the United States Senate, and more than a third of the seats in the United States House of Representatives. The pattern is even more striking when it comes to highly selective law schools. A handful of these schools accounts for 25 of the 100 United States Senators, 74 United States Courts of Appeals judges, and nearly 200 of the more than 600 United States District Court judges.
In order to cultivate a set of leaders with legitimacy in the eyes of the citizenry, it is necessary that the path to leadership be visibly open to talented and qualified individuals of every race and ethnicity. All members of our heterogeneous society must have

confidence in the openness and integrity of the educational institutions that provide this training. As we have recognized, law schools "cannot be effective in isolation from the individuals and institutions with which the law interacts." Access to legal education (and thus the legal profession) must be inclusive of talented and qualified individuals of every race and ethnicity, so that all members of our heterogeneous society may participate in the educational institutions that provide the training and education necessary to succeed in America.20
Although the Grutter case concerned a program to promote diversity by race and ethnicity at the University of Michigan Law School, the Court's observation that all members of our heterogeneous society should have an equal opportunity to participate in the educational institutions that train our leaders also applies to individuals with disabilities.
Conclusion
Making law schools accessible to individuals with disabilities can help ensure that the legal profession is more open to persons with disabilities than it is now. The Association should encourage entities that administer law school admission testing and the law schools that rely on such testing to implement the ADA and to look for creative ways to make legal education and the legal profession more accessible to students with disabilities.

Its about six and a half hours, maybe more.  I do have the extended battery.
I turn the screen brightness down to almost nothing by using the Lenovo
function key and the end key in combination.  I like the Lenovo because it
is so small.  The Lenovo can also be purchased with built in 4g or 3g high
speed wireless, so that is good too.  I've also had Dells that are real
good.  The thing about Dell is that they really have their act together on
service, if you need it.

Mostly you can't turn them off completely, but you can gain a lot of battery life by turning the brightness down as low 
as it can go.  Most laptops let you switch between your LCD display and an external monitor, but they are smart 
enough to not switch if there is no monitor plugged in.  That isn't to say that there may not be one out there 
somewhere, though.

Hello,
I'm using the Samsung n150 netbook and it has the feature to turn off
the monitor completely.

I asume that Samsung laptops might be having the similar facility as well.
The key stroke is fn key plus f5.

Thanks,
Akhilesh.

Job Grade E14; Exempt; Full-time; Monday-Friday
Starting Salary Range:  $84,257 - $95,000 DOE+ benefits
(Posted 10/13/11)



Leadership Overview
The two major leadership objectives for this position are to institutionalize and facilitate the WSBA's (1) commitment to diversity and (2) continuing leadership in access to justice and public service related initiatives.  Both objectives are embodied in WSBA's Guiding Principles which include a commitment to operate a well-managed association that will advance and promote access to the justice system, diversity, equality, and cultural understanding throughout the legal community.  The position supervises three program managers representing Diversity, Justice Programs (Access to Justice Board), and Public Service programming.  The position will also staff the Council on Public Defense. This position will be a member of the WSBA executive leadership team with accompanying responsibilities and accountability.



Responsibilities

*         Manage operations in the Justice and Diversity Initiatives Department including budget management and staff supervision which includes hiring, firing, retention, coaching, training, performance evaluations, succession planning, etc.

This position requires a strategic thinker who is able to make decisions independently, is able to work collaboratively, consistently exercises sound judgment, and is able to implement strategies to accomplish goals and tasks driven by the Board of Governors, WSBA leadership, and external partners.

Qualifications

Has anyone on this web site experienced a particularly 
obtuse mentality with Justia's web site?

 Last year I was laid off from my job, and since then I've been trying to get my online information reset to be accurate.

Justia has me shown as still working at my old office. I have created a new profile for them and have asked them to take down the old information. Their "removal" process isn't what one can call accessible, so I contacted them and asked them to get in touch with me, being blind I'd like to work out how to get the information corrected. This has caused a series of emails where they insist that I do things their way.

I keep telling them that, since the process they want used sin't accessible, why don't they just give me a call so we can work out a more realistic verification method. 

They continue to ignore that simple approach.

Has anyone else experienced this?

New formula slashes Social Security increases

BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER, Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- Just as 55 million Social Security recipients are about to get their first benefit increase in three years, Congress is looking at reducing future raises by adopting a new measure of inflation that also would increase taxes for most families -- the biggest impact falling on those with low incomes.

If adopted across the government, the inflation measure would have widespread ramifications. Future increases in veterans' benefits and pensions for federal workers and military personnel would be smaller. And over time, fewer people would qualify for Medicaid, Head Start, food stamps, school lunch programs and home heating assistance than under the current measure.

Taxes would go up by $60 billion over the next decade because annual adjustments to the tax brackets would be smaller, resulting in more people jumping into higher tax brackets because their wages rose faster than the new inflation measure. Annual increases in the standard deduction and personal exemptions would become smaller.

Despite fierce opposition from seniors groups, the proposal is gaining momentum in part because it would let policymakers gradually cut benefits and increase taxes in a way that might not be readily apparent to most Americans. Changes at first would be small -- the Social Security increase would be cut by just a few dollars in the first year.

But the impact, as well as savings to the government, would grow over time, generating about $200 billion in the first decade and much more after that.

The proposal to adopt a new Consumer Price Index was floated by the Obama administration during deficit reduction talks in the summer. Now, it is one of the few options supported by both Democratic and Republican members of a joint supercommittee in Congress working to reduce government borrowing.

The committee of six Democrats and six Republicans is struggling to come up with a plan to reduce government red ink by at least $1.2 trillion over the next decade. Changing the inflation index alone would put them a sixth of the way there.

"I think the thought process behind this is, slip this in, people won't understand it," said Max Richtman, president and CEO of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.

Richtman's group is spending about $2 million on radio, TV and direct mail ads to fight cuts in Social Security and Medicare. His message to Congress: "Don't believe that taking this approach to cutting Social Security will not be noticed. You will pay for it."

A TV ad by AARP puts it this way: "We are 50 million seniors who earned our benefits, and you will be hearing from us today -- and on Election Day."

The inflation measure under consideration is called the Chained Consumer Price Index, or chained CPI. On average, the measure shows a lower level of inflation than the more widely used CPI for All Urban Consumers.

Many economists argue that the chained CPI is more accurate because it assumes that as prices increase, consumers switch to lower cost alternatives, reducing the amount of inflation they experience.

For example, if the price of beef increases while the price of pork does not, people will buy more pork. Or, as opponents mockingly argue, if the price of home heating oil goes up, people will turn down their heat and wear more sweaters.

A report by the Moment of Truth Project, a group formed to promote the deficit reduction package produced by President Barack Obama's deficit commission late last year, supports a new inflation measure. "Rather than serving to raise taxes and cut benefits, switching to the chained CPI would simply be fulfilling the mission of properly adjusting for cost of living," it argues.

The new measure would reduce Social Security cost-of-living adjustments, or COLAs, by an average of 0.3 percentage points each year, according to the Social Security Administration. Next year's increase, the first since 2009, will be 3.6 percent, starting in January.

Under the chained CPI, yearly benefits for a typical 65-year-old would be about $136 less, according to an analysis of Social Security data. At age 75, annual benefits under the new index would be $560 less. At 85, the cut would be $984 a year, and at 95, the annual income loss would amount to $1,392.

"For someone in the first year, it may not seem a lot," said AARP's David Certner. "But as people get older and then they get poorer and more reliant on Social Security, the cut gradually gets larger and larger."

In all, adopting the chained CPI would reduce Social Security benefits by $112 billion over the next decade. Federal civilian and military pensions would be $24 billion lower, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

If adopted across the government, fewer people would be eligible for many anti-poverty programs because the poverty level also would increase at a lower rate each year. That would result in fewer people living below the official poverty line, despite having the same income.

The tax increases would hit low-income families the hardest, while high-income taxpayers would see smaller changes. The wealthiest taxpayers already pay taxes at the highest marginal rate, currently 35 percent.

For example, by 2021, taxpayers making between $10,000 and $20,000 would see a 14.5 percent increase in their federal taxes with a chained CPI, according to an analysis by the Joint Committee on Taxation. Taxpayers making more than $1 million would get a tax increase of 0.1 percent.

Despite the political backlash, some lawmakers see the new inflation measure as a way to help break the deadlock in Washington over tax increases and cuts in benefit programs. Most Republicans adamantly oppose tax increases, while Democrats have said they won't support benefit cuts without a substantial increase in revenue.

Rep. Xavier Becerra, a California Democrat who serves on the supercommittee, helped lead the fight over the summer against adopting the chained CPI. But in an interview last week, he wouldn't rule out supporting a package that included it.

"If you're going to simply try to save money by changing the CPI, you can do that," Becerra said. "But then be up front and tell seniors what you're doing. You're throwing them under the bus to save money."

This and other attorney vacancy announcements can be found at:

Department Policies: Assistant United States Attorneys generally must reside 
in the district to which he or she is appointed. See 28 U.S.C. § 545 for 
district-specific information.

All initial attorney appointments to the Department of Justice are made on a 
time-limited (temporary) basis. Temporary appointments may, or may not, be 
extended or made permanent without further competition.

The U.S. Department of Justice is an Equal Opportunity/Reasonable 
Accommodation Employer. Except where otherwise provided by law, there will 
be no discrimination because of color, race, religion, national origin, 
politics, marital status, disability, age, sex, sexual orientation, status 
as a parent, membership or non-membership in an employee organization, or on 
the basis of personal favoritism. The Department of Justice welcomes and 
encourages applications from persons with physical and mental disabilities. 
The Department is firmly committed to satisfying its affirmative obligations 
under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, to ensure that persons with 
disabilities have every opportunity to be hired and advanced on the basis of 
merit within the Department of Justice. This agency provides reasonable 
accommodation to applicants with disabilities where appropriate. If you need 
a reasonable accommodation for any part of the application and hiring 
process, please notify the agency. Determinations on requests for reasonable 
accommodation will be made on a case-by-case basis.

It is the policy of the Department to achieve a drug-free workplace and 
persons selected for employment will be required to pass a drug test which 
screens for illegal drug use prior to final appointment. Employment is also 
contingent upon the completion and satisfactory adjudication of a background 
investigation. Only U.S. citizens are eligible for employment with the 
Executive Office for Immigration Review and the United States Attorneys' 
Offices. Unless otherwise indicated in a particular job advertisement, 
non-U.S. Citizens may apply for employment with other organizations, but 
should be advised that appointments of non-U.S. Citizens are extremely rare; 
such appointments would be possible only if necessary to accomplish the 
Department's mission and would be subject to strict security requirements. 
Applicants who hold dual citizenship in the U.S. and another country will be 
considered on a case-by-case basis.

There is no formal rating system for applying veterans' preference to 
attorney appointments in the excepted service; however, the Department of 
Justice considers veterans' preference eligibility as a positive factor in 
attorney hiring. Applicants eligible for veterans' preference must include 
that information in their cover letter or resume and attach supporting 
documentation (e.g., the DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from 
Active Duty and other supporting documentation) to their submissions. 
Although the "point" system is not used, per se, applicants eligible to 
claim 10-point preference must submit Standard Form (SF) 15, Application for 
10-Point Veteran Preference, and submit the supporting documentation 
required for the specific type of preference claimed (visit the OPM website, 
http://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/SF15.pdf for a copy of SF 15, which lists 
the types of 10-point preferences and the required supporting documents). 
Applicants should note that SF 15 requires supporting documentation 
associated with service-connected disabilities or receipt of 
nonservice-connected disability pensions to be dated 1991 or later except in 
the case of service members submitting official statements or retirement 
orders from a branch of the Armed Forces showing that his or her retirement 
was due to a permanent service-connected disability or that he/she was 
transferred to the permanent disability retired list (the statement or 
retirement orders must indicate that the disability is 10% or more).

At my college, you can have the spine cut off any textbook and use a special bulk scanner to scan the entire book to PDF. Perhaps a university in her area might have the same, if no other option presents itself...

Hi you should e-mail the publishers and ask them for electronic
versions, if nothing else works. Some are helpful, some are not.

Subject: Re: [blindlaw] U.S. Attorney posting - South Florida

Come to think of it, I've gone there and this is what I found:
***
ASSISTANT UNITED STATES ATTORNEY
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
Announcement Number 11-SDFL-AUSA-07 posted 11/8/11


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

Recruitment Efforts: We are currently seeking experienced civil litigators
to handle Civil Health Care Fraud and/or Affirmative Civil Enforcement cases
in our Miami Office.

About the Office: The United States Attorney's Office (USAO), Southern
District of Florida (SDFL), is seeking experienced attorneys to serve as
Assistant United States Attorneys in the Civil Division of one of the
largest USAOs in the nation. USAO/SDFL is a leader in the prosecution of
health care fraud, bank and other white collar frauds, narcotics offenses,
human trafficking cases, public corruption, and national security matters. 
Divisions include: Appellate, Asset Forfeiture, Civil and Criminal. There
are also three branch offices located in Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and
Ft. Pierce.

Responsibilities and Opportunity Offered: The applicant selected will
primarily concentrate on Affirmative Civil Enforcement (ACE) cases and
matters. ACE litigation includes, but is not limited to: Health Care Fraud
(HCF); Qui Tam litigation; and Program Fraud or Program Enforcement
(mortgage fraud, federal grant fraud, etc.). The applicant selected will
work closely with federal and state law enforcement agents and auditors,
attorneys in the Commercial Litigation Branch of the Civil Division, Main
DOJ, and AUSAs in the Criminal Division of the USAO SD Florida. Applicants
must be able to work effectively as a team member, as well as independently.

Litigation experience such as taking depositions, conducting hearings and
trials, and a working knowledge of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and
Evidence are preferred. Fraud and False Claims Act cases handled by Civil
Division ACE AUSAs in the past year have resulted in collections on behalf
of the federal government of over $175 million. The applicant selected will
also be assigned some defensive cases and matters, but the majority of the
workload will be complex affirmative cases and matters. While the duty
station of the assigned ACE AUSA is in Miami, the AUSA will handle ACE/HCF
litigation in all offices within the Southern District of Florida.

Qualifications: Required qualifications: Applicants must possess a J.D. 
degree, be an active member of the bar (any jurisdiction), and have at least
1 year post-J.D. experience.

Preferred qualifications: Preferred applicants will possess superior oral
and written communication skills, as well as strong interpersonal skills;
have demonstrated capacity to function, with minimal guidance, in a highly
demanding environment. Additionally, it is desired that the successful
candidate have strong academic credentials and at least three years of post
J.D. experience.

Travel: Some travel may be necessary.

Salary Information: Assistant United States Attorneys' pay is
administratively determined based, in part, on the number years of
professional attorney experience. The current recruiting range of pay is up
to $155,400 including locality pay.

Location: Miami, Florida.

Relocation Expenses: Relocation expenses will not be authorized.

Application Process and Deadline Date: Cover letter, resume and writing
sample may be submitted by e-mail to USAFLS-AUSAResumes at usdoj.gov

OR by mail to the following address:

United States Attorney's Office

99 N.E. 4th Street
Miami, Fl 33132

No telephone calls please. Announcement is open until 11/22/11.

Internet Sites: The home page for the U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern
District of Florida, may be accessed at: http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/fls/

This and other attorney vacancy announcements can be found at: 
http://www.usdoj.gov/oarm/attvacancies.html

Department Policies: Assistant United States Attorneys generally must reside
in the district to which he or she is appointed. See 28 U.S.C. § 545 for
district-specific information.

All initial attorney appointments to the Department of Justice are made on a
time-limited (temporary) basis. Temporary appointments may, or may not, be
extended or made permanent without further competition.

The U.S. Department of Justice is an Equal Opportunity/Reasonable
Accommodation Employer. Except where otherwise provided by law, there will
be no discrimination because of color, race, religion, national origin,
politics, marital status, disability, age, sex, sexual orientation, status
as a parent, membership or non-membership in an employee organization, or on
the basis of personal favoritism. The Department of Justice welcomes and
encourages applications from persons with physical and mental disabilities. 
The Department is firmly committed to satisfying its affirmative obligations
under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, to ensure that persons with
disabilities have every opportunity to be hired and advanced on the basis of
merit within the Department of Justice. This agency provides reasonable
accommodation to applicants with disabilities where appropriate. If you need
a reasonable accommodation for any part of the application and hiring
process, please notify the agency. Determinations on requests for reasonable
accommodation will be made on a case-by-case basis.

It is the policy of the Department to achieve a drug-free workplace and
persons selected for employment will be required to pass a drug test which
screens for illegal drug use prior to final appointment. Employment is also
contingent upon the completion and satisfactory adjudication of a background
investigation. Only U.S. citizens are eligible for employment with the
Executive Office for Immigration Review and the United States Attorneys' 
Offices. Unless otherwise indicated in a particular job advertisement,
non-U.S. Citizens may apply for employment with other organizations, but
should be advised that appointments of non-U.S. Citizens are extremely rare;
such appointments would be possible only if necessary to accomplish the
Department's mission and would be subject to strict security requirements. 
Applicants who hold dual citizenship in the U.S. and another country will be
considered on a case-by-case basis.

There is no formal rating system for applying veterans' preference to
attorney appointments in the excepted service; however, the Department of
Justice considers veterans' preference eligibility as a positive factor in
attorney hiring. Applicants eligible for veterans' preference must include
that information in their cover letter or resume and attach supporting
documentation (e.g., the DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from
Active Duty and other supporting documentation) to their submissions. 
Although the "point" system is not used, per se, applicants eligible to
claim 10-point preference must submit Standard Form (SF) 15, Application for
10-Point Veteran Preference, and submit the supporting documentation
required for the specific type of preference claimed (visit the OPM website,
http://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/SF15.pdf for a copy of SF 15, which lists
the types of 10-point preferences and the required supporting documents). 
Applicants should note that SF 15 requires supporting documentation
associated with service-connected disabilities or receipt of
nonservice-connected disability pensions to be dated 1991 or later except in
the case of service members submitting official statements or retirement
orders from a branch of the Armed Forces showing that his or her retirement
was due to a permanent service-connected disability or that he/she was
transferred to the permanent disability retired list (the statement or
retirement orders must indicate that the disability is 10% or more).

* * *

The Department of Justice cannot control further dissemination and/or
posting of information contained in this vacancy announcement. Such posting
and/or dissemination is not an endorsement by the Department of the
organization or group disseminating and/or posting the information.

LAW CLERK, SPRING 2012

The Equal Justice Society has law clerk positions available for Spring Semester 2012 at our office in San Francisco. The positions are open to law students who have completed at least their first year of law school. EJS law clerks participate in legal research, writing, and analysis in the areas of civil rights and racial justice.

EJS is a national legal organization focused on restoring Constitutional safeguards against discrimination. Our goal is to help achieve a society where race is no longer a barrier to opportunity. We use a three-pronged approach-combining legal advocacy, outreach and coalition building, and education through effective messaging and communication strategies-to reverse those laws and policies that erode 14th Amendment protections.

Our legal strategy aims to broaden conceptions of present-day discrimination to include unconscious and structural bias by using cognitive science, structural analysis, and real-life experience. Currently, EJS targets its advocacy efforts on the death penalty, municipal disparities, and inequities in the judicial system.

LOCATION
San Francisco, California

COMPENSATION
At this time we are not able to offer paid positions. Academic credit may be available through your law school.

DEADLINE
November 15, 2011
* Applications must be received in the office, not postmarked, by the dates listed.
* Positions will be filled on a rolling basis; early applications are welcome and will be reviewed as they are received.

APPLICATION PROCESS
Please email:  (1) cover letter, (2) resume, and (3) writing sample (no more than 10 pages) to info at equaljusticesociety.org with "Law Clerk Application" in the subject line.

Re: Law Clerk Applications

Hi Everyone:

Sometime back, I read here that there was some kind of a settlement with 
Wells Fargo regarding the availability of accessible and or talking ATM's. 
I've not had a chance to play with Wells Fargo's ATM's; however, I do 
present before its tellers regularly.

After swiping your Wells Fargo debit card, you can't ENTER YOUR PIN NUMBER 
without sighted assistance.  Why?  Because it is a TOUCH PAD with NO RAISED 
BUTTONS like those on a regular phone pad.

My question then is:  Does the agreement not apply to equipment used by 
Wells Fargo's tellers?  Yet another question:  Will it take another legal 
action to have Wells Fargo truly comply with ADA provisions as it relates to 
accessibility?

Let's all brainstorm on this and hopefully we can come up with a solution 
worth suggesting to Wells Fargo because I sure hate SHOUTING OUT my PIN 
number when standing in front of the teller!

Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado

Remember that unless the teller's terminal has somehow been compromised 
or you are mugged on your way out of the bank, your four-digit PIN is of 
no use to anyone.  It won't help you much to make the PIN entry 
accessible if other aspect of the transaction are not.  You still would 
have to select the account from which you want to withdraw, the dollar 
amount you will be walking out of the bank with, and anything else that 
gets asked..  I believe that the touch pads are regarded as being more 
secure because the numbers are laid out in such a way that their entry 
can't be observed by bystanders.  Otherwise, someone watching you from 
behind could simply steal or make you hand over your card when you left 
the bank, along with the money you just withdrew.  If you're worried 
about disclosing your PIN, you can, under most debit cards, process it 
as a credit transaction.

Cordially,
Bill

I think that Equip For Equality, here in Chicago, is discussing changes with 
them, but as you can imagine it will require updates to the hardware to add 
a physical keypad like most other machines have even though they have a 
touch screen.  They have had some success with other large banks in 
remedies.

Do you know if these touch keypads are true touchpads where keys can be relocated by software or whether 
they are truly flat keypads with fixed locations?  If the latter, an overlay of some kind would probably 
be adequate short of requiring different hardware and depending upon whether the keys are activated by 
pressure or proximity.  It has become a fact of life that sometimes the actual location of keys is 
randomized to prevent the same pattern of motion from implying the same pattern of numbers.  We simply 
do not have an answer to that sort of system.  The whole issue of security is one that is often at odds 
with our ability to interact with such systems.

Best regarsds,

Commission Name Change

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

We are proud to announce that the American Bar Association's Commission on Mental and Physical Disability Law has changed its name to the Commission on Disability Rights (CDR).

CDR is one of the oldest and storied entities within the Association. Created in 1973 as the Commission on the Mentally Disabled, CDR was the first of what would become the 's group of diversity commissions intended to promote Goal III (Eliminate Bias and Enhance Diversity). From 1973 up until 1991, the Commission on the Mentally Disabled responded to the advocacy needs of persons with mental disabilities. Adapting to social and political change, the CDR changed its name in 1991 to the Commission on Mental and Physical Disability Law after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It no longer focused exclusively on individuals with mental health impairments, recognizing that the civil rights movement, as it applied to those with disabilities, encompassed people with sensory and physical impairments.

At our meeting this past fall in [sic], the Commission's members recognized that what's in a name is actually quite important and voted unanimously to change our name. Our new name better reflects the Commission's dual mission: (1) to "promote the [sic] 's commitment to justice and the rule of law for persons with mental, physical, and sensory disabilities and (2) to promote their full and equal participation in the legal profession."

The Commission advocates for the legal rights of persons with disabilities, seeking to eliminate the obstacles created by stigma and prejudice based on stereotypes and to ensure their equal participation and meaningful inclusion in society. Working within its new Committee structure, the CDR will continue to advocate for equal opportunities and equal rights for persons with disabilities to work, be educated, live independently, make their own decisions, have access to governmental services, private businesses, and places of public accommodation, and be free of discrimination, abuse, and neglect. CDR's new programs and initiatives will help ensure that civil rights encompass the rights of persons with disabilities.

Of equal importance, the CDR, in keeping with the 's role as the national representative of the legal profession and its longstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion in the profession, is committed to eliminating bias, enhancing diversity, and advancing the full and equal participation of law students and lawyers with disabilities in the profession. Our goal is to make disability a vital component of all diversity programs, events, and activities and to support law firms and other legal employers, state and local bars, and law schools in their diversity and inclusion efforts.

To effectuate change and promote progress, CDR realizes that it will take everyone working together to champion the rights of persons with disabilities. New advances in technology allow our efforts to reach far and wide.  As the Commission moves into its next generation of service, we hope you will join us and be part of our community of advocacy, education, working for and advancing the interests of persons with disabilities.

Sincerely,

Katherine H. O'Neil, Chair
Commission on Disability Rights

           Wednesday, November 16, 2011 
                    Hello,

                  Please circulate to those who may be interested in applying for a White House internship. To learn more, read the full blog post here.

                  Apply Today for the White House Internship Program

                  Posted by Christian Peele, Director of the White House Internship Program

                  So, what’s a typical day like for a White House Intern?

                  It’s a question I’m often asked, and the honest answer is that there’s no such thing. The mission of the White House Internship Program is to make the "People’s House" accessible to future leaders from around the nation, and to cultivate and prepare those devoted to public service for future leadership opportunities. To this end, the programs and opportunities of the Internship Program make for days filled with unique learning experiences, thought-provoking conversation, and unforgettable events.

                  White House Interns work in one of sixteen White House departments  where they conduct research, manage incoming inquiries, attend meetings, write memos and staff events. Some of the offices where they work include the Office of the First Lady, the Office of Scheduling and Advance, the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, the Office of the White House Counsel, the National Economic Council, the Office of Communications, the Domestic Policy Council and the Office of Digital Strategy.

                  In addition to their regular duties, each week, White House Interns hear from senior members of the Administration including the First Lady, the Chief of Staff and the White House Counsel. They meet in small groups to discuss policy issues and take off-site field trips to learn more about Washington, D.C. They participate in service projects at non-profits and schools. Not to mention, they spend three months alongside other Interns who are devoted to public service and with whom they build long-lasting friendships.

                  Today we open the application for the Summer 2012 White House Internship Program. The summer program runs from May 29, 2012 through August 10, 2012, and the application deadline is January 22, 2012.

                  If you are interested in public service – apply.

                  Tell other young leaders who are interested in public service to apply.

                  Be part of a program where there’s no typical day, and where young people from across the country dedicate their time, talents, and energy to better the White House, the community, and the nation.

                  Christian Peele is the Director of the White House Internship Program.

Hi Kathy:
You will find that posting together with other California postings at:
http://www.justice.gov/careers/legal/attvacancies.html
That web page might not be the most user friendly, so when you get there use 
"California" as the search term and you should get at least two postings, 
the one in San Francisco and the one in Sacrmento.
Good luck.
Ross

Hi Ross:

Thanks much. My specific next step is to search for entry level or lawyer
trainee positions in labor relations, contracts, or EEO to capitalize on my
dispute resolution background and interest in employment law.
I appreciate any assistance you may be able to offer on this project. I will
be sworn in on December 5. Please let me know if additional information
would be helpful.

Cathryn Bonnette

start the hearing process which should have been explained to you by your 
counselor. You have a right to appeal any decision made by a state agency 
and eventually you have the right to go to court. you may also need to find 
another expert doctor that will be able to state that you are capable of 
pursuing a career in social work. It is going to take some work on your part 
to show that you are capable of attaining this goal. Additionally it would 
be a good idea to start volunteering in a setting where you would have some 
client contact to demonstrate your abilities.

Thanks, Chuck.  Who should I talk to, any of you Coloradoans, 
about getting the hearing process started?  The thing is that the 
report said I had a lot of discontent with my family, which 
stemmed from the whole guardianship thing which has plagued my 
life, stpped a marriage, and could potentially ruin my career.  
So who do I talk to?  Thanks.
Beth

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About the Office: The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Utah has one opening for an Assistant United States Attorney. 

Responsibilities and Opportunity Offered: This position is located in the Asset Forfeiture Unit of the Criminal Division which uses criminal and civil forfeiture actions to forfeit real property, currency, vehicles, and other items of value. Forfeiture actions disrupt and deter criminal activity, dismantle criminal enterprises, deprive criminals and their associates of the profits from their illegal activities, and secure funds for restitution to victims. The cases typically arise from major narcotics cases involving drug trafficking organizations, federal firearms offenses, computer crimes, tax violations, sophisticated white collar fraud offenses and money laundering. The Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) will be responsible for representing the United States, its agencies and officials in all aspects of federal criminal and civil forfeiture litigation, including the investigation of cases, preparation and filing of pleadings, management of discovery, briefing and argument of motions, and participation in all related hearings and trials.

Qualifications: Applicants must possess a J.D. degree, be an active member of the bar (any jurisdiction), and have at least one year post-J.D. experience. Ideal qualifications include experience involving asset forfeiture aspects of cases and at least 5 to 9 years of post-J.D. litigation experience. 

Applicants must demonstrate a quick analytical ability and the facility to accurately and precisely articulate the critical issues in a case. Applicants must demonstrate superior oral and writing skills as well as strong research and interpersonal skills, and good judgment. Applicants must possess excellent communication and courtroom skills and exhibit the ability to work in a supportive and professional manner with other attorneys, support staff and client agencies. Applicants must have a demonstrated capacity to function, with minimal guidance, in a highly demanding environment.

Travel: Occasional travel may be required.

Salary Information: Assistant United States Attorneys' pay is administratively determined based, in part, on the number years of professional attorney experience and availability of funds. The range of basic pay is $44,581 to $117,994 plus locality pay where authorized. 

Location: Salt Lake City, Utah

Relocation Expenses: Relocation expenses are not authorized.

Application Process and Deadline Date: Please submit a resume and cover letter to the United States Attorney's Office, ATTN: Danna Reichert, 185 South State Street, Suite 300, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111. No telephone calls please. Applications must be postmarked no later than December 5, 2011.

Internet Sites: This and other vacancy announcements can be found at: 
EOUSA Employment Opportunities (http://dojnet.doj.gov/usao/eousa/vacancies/index.html) and
http://www.justice.gov/oarm/attvacancies.html 

Department Policies: Assistant United States Attorneys generally must reside in the district to which he or she is appointed. See 28 U.S.C. § 545 for district-specific information.

All initial attorney appointments to the Department of Justice are made on a time-limited (temporary) basis. Temporary appointments may, or may not, be extended or made permanent without further competition.

The U.S. Department of Justice is an Equal Opportunity/Reasonable Accommodation Employer. Except where otherwise provided by law, there will be no discrimination because of color, race, religion, national origin, political affiliation, marital status, disability (physical or mental), age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, genetic information, status as a parent, membership or non-membership in an employee organization, or on the basis of personal favoritism, or any non merit factor. The Department of Justice welcomes and encourages applications from persons with physical and mental disabilities. The Department is firmly committed to satisfying its affirmative obligations under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, to ensure that persons with disabilities have every opportunity to be hired and advanced on the basis of merit within the Department of Justice. This agency provides reasonable accommodation to applicants with disabilities where appropriate. If you need a reasonable accommodation for any part of the application and hiring process, please notify the agency. Determinations on requests for reasonable accommodation will be made on a case-by-case basis. 

It is the policy of the Department to achieve a drug-free workplace and persons selected for employment will be required to pass a drug test which screens for illegal drug use prior to final appointment. Employment is also contingent upon the completion and satisfactory adjudication of a background investigation. Only U.S. citizens are eligible for employment with the Executive Office for Immigration Review and the United States Attorneys' Offices. Unless otherwise indicated in a particular job advertisement, non-U.S. Citizens may apply for employment with other organizations, but should be advised that appointments of non-U.S. Citizens are extremely rare; such appointments would be possible only if necessary to accomplish the Department's mission and would be subject to strict security requirements. Applicants who hold dual citizenship in the U.S. and another country will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

There is no formal rating system for applying veterans' preference to attorney appointments in the excepted service; however, the Department of Justice considers veterans' preference eligibility as a positive factor in attorney hiring. Applicants eligible for veterans' preference must include that information in their cover letter or resume and attach supporting documentation (e.g., the DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty and other supporting documentation) to their submissions. Although the "point" system is not used, per se, applicants eligible to claim 10-point preference must submit Standard Form (SF) 15, Application for 10-Point Veteran Preference, and submit the supporting documentation required for the specific type of preference claimed (visit the OPM website, http://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/SF15.pdf for a copy of SF 15, which lists the types of 10point preferences and the required supporting document(s). Applicants should note that SF 15 requires supporting documentation associated with service-connected disabilities or receipt of nonservice-connected disability pensions to be dated 1991 or later except in the case of service members submitting official statements or retirement orders from a branch of the Armed Forces showing that his or her retirement was due to a permanent service-connected disability or that he/she was transferred to the permanent disability retired list (the statement or retirement orders must indicate that the disability is 10% or more).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
(Please refer to Instructions for Filing Resolutions with Reports for completing this form.)
1.
Summary of the Resolution
Under the Commission on Disability Right's (CDR) resolution the ABA would urge entities that administer law school admissions tests to provide accommodations that best ensure that the skills of the test-takers are measured, and not their disabilities. It would further urge that the process for determining whether to grant an accommodation be made public; a decision on approving an accommodation be conveyed to the applicant within a reasonable amount of time; and that there be a fair appeals process for a denied accommodation. The resolution also urges testing entities to not flag scores that have received a disability-based accommodation.
2.
Summary of the Issue that the Resolution Addresses
Since 2007, CDR has noted and compiled various problems individuals with disabilities have identified with regard to law school admissions tests. Reports and law suits brought to CDR's attention have shown that the process to apply for and obtain accommodations is often difficult and sometimes legitimate requests are denied. For example, many applicants are put through a burdensome process or are denied accommodations that they have been receiving in school for years. If an applicant is granted extra time as accommodation, his or her score is then "flagged" as achieved under special circumstances, which raises unfair questions about the score's legitimacy.
3.
Please Explain How the Proposed Policy Position will address the issue
This position takes note of regulations issued by the Department of Justice regarding the examination and testing provision of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The intent is to ensure that deserving applicants are given accommodations that only test aptitude and do not test or highlight the person's disability. The resolution addresses portions of the accommodations process-i.e., administrative procedures, timeliness, and appeals-that have been noted by many in the disability community as problematic areas of the process. Finally, the position directly addresses the unfair practice of "flagging" by urging for its removal in the law school admissions testing process, a position already taken by most entities who administer admissions tests in other fields.

REPORT
Introduction
The ABA's Goal III calls on the legal profession to eliminate bias and to enhance diversity, including for persons with disabilities. In spite of these assurances, the testing process for law school admission remains an obstacle to the full and equal participation of individuals with disabilities in the legal profession. Students with disabilities are substantially underrepresented in law schools across the country.1 In part, this is due to the fact that the testing process relied upon by most law schools in the United States does not afford the same benefits to applicants with disabilities that it affords to other applicants.
The proposed resolution urges any entity that administers a law school admission test to ensure that law school applicants with disabilities are given no less than the accommodations that federal law requires, including, where appropriate, removal of architectural and communication barriers, modification of rules, practices and procedures, and provision of auxiliary aids and services.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), enacted in 1990, introduced a new way of looking at what it means to discriminate. For people with disabilities, affording identical treatment to all does not confer equal access to proceedings, programs, and activities. The person with deafness, the person with blindness, the person who uses a wheelchair, or the person with dyslexia might be excluded unless accommodations are made for his or her unique needs.
The proposed resolution also urges any entity that administers, scores, or reports a law school admission test to take steps to ensure that the application process, the scoring of the test, and the reporting of test scores do not discriminate based on disability, in particular that scores not be differentiated on the basis of whether an individual received any type of accommodation for a disability. It further urges any entity that administers a law school admission test to make public the policies, guidelines, and administrative procedures used for granting accommodations requested by those with disabilities; to give notice to applicants within a reasonable period of time whether requested accommodations have been granted; and to provide a fair process for timely reconsideration of the denial of requested accommodations.
For many years, the ABA has been committed to going beyond what the law requires in providing accommodations to lawyers, judges and law students with disabilities. In 1989, the ABA adopted policy supporting in principle proposed legislation that became the ADA. In 1997, the ABA approved a policy calling upon all courts to provide qualified language interpreters, including sign language interpreters, for persons who are deaf or hard of hearing. Policy adopted in 1998 urges that any nominating or evaluating entity, when making character and fitness determinations of state judicial candidates, narrowly tailor its questions concerning
1 While persons with disabilities represent nearly 20% of the population, a much smaller percentage are found in our law schools. While there is no accurate count, because tracking based on disability lags well behind such statistics for race, ethnicity and gender, we do know that only 3.4% of law students requested accommodations for the 20092010 school year.

physical and mental disabilities or physical and mental health treatment in order to focus its inquiries on information relevant to a candidate's current fitness to serve as a judge, with such reasonable modifications as might be required. In 2002, the ABA adopted policy urging all federal, state and municipal courts to make courthouses and court proceedings accessible to individuals with disabilities, including lawyers, judges, jurors, litigants, witnesses, and observers, in order to ensure equal access to justice and compliance with the ADA. The policy also recommended that each courthouse appoint a disability accommodations coordinator to develop procedures for receiving requests for accommodations from individuals with disabilities and for responding creatively with reasonable accommodations that meet the needs of the individual, including removal of architectural barriers, modification of rules and practices, and provision of auxiliary aids and services.
The proposed resolution builds upon these existing policies by urging entities that administer law school admission tests to take specific steps to ensure that applicants with disabilities have equal access to legal education. The resolution is necessary because existing resolutions are incomplete in their application to the law school admission process and because developments in the 20 years since passage of the ADA have resulted in a wealth of experience that entities can draw upon to implement more effective programs.
Background
An individual who wishes to attend an ABA-accredited law school must take an admission test before entry. In order for a law school to become one of the over 195 ABA-approved law schools, an academic institution must adhere to standards promulgated by the Council of the ABA's Section of Legal Education & Admissions to the Bar (Council). The Council is identified by the U.S. Department of Education as the national accrediting agency for professional law schools. Although there is a process for consultation with the ABA House of Delegates on accreditation matters, decisions of the Council are final.2 According to the Council's ABA Standards and Rules of Procedure for Approval of Law Schools (Standards), a law school must have an admission test which is "a valid and reliable admission test to assist the school and the applicant in assessing the applicant's capability of satisfactorily completing the school's educational program."3
Standard 503 of the Standards requires that, "In making admission decisions, a law school shall use the test results in a manner that is consistent with the current guidelines regarding proper use of the test results provided by the agency that developed the test."4
Presently, the only nationally-administered test available for such a purpose is the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). In its current state, the LSAT is a timed test with four scored and one unscored multiple choice sections. Each section is thirty-five minutes long. There is one reading comprehension section, one analytical reasoning section, and two logical reasoning/games sections. The LSAT is administered by the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC), a nonprofit organization. Although the Section Council does not endorse a particular admission test

nor does it have official ties with the LSAC, it does acknowledge the LSAT in the Standard's Interpretation 503-1 which states:
A law school that uses an admission test other than the Law School Admission Test sponsored by the Law School Admission Council shall establish that such other test is a valid and reliable test to assist the school in assessing an applicant's capability to satisfactorily complete the school's educational program.
The proposed resolution is not intended to apply only to the LSAC, but is meant to cover any and all entities that administer a law school admission test.
Flagging
The Standards append the guidelines developed by the LSAC regarding proper use of the test results as "Appendix 2: LSAC Cautionary Policies Concerning LSAT Scores." The cautionary policies single out LSAT scores earned under accommodated or nonstandard conditions. The policy states:
Carefully evaluate LSAT scores earned under accommodated or nonstandard conditions.
LSAC has no data to demonstrate that scores earned under accommodated conditions have the same meaning as scores earned under standard conditions. Because the LSAT has not been validated in its various accommodated forms, accommodated tests are identified as nonstandard and an individual's scores from accommodated tests are not averaged with scores from tests taken under standard conditions.
According to the LSAC's website, an applicant registered to take the LSAT must complete a packet. The packet contains forms to be filled out by the applicant and an evaluator describing and documenting the applicant's disability as well as the accommodation(s) requested by the applicant.5 The LSAC has reported that, on average, 1,960 applicants requested an accommodation per testing year between 2002 and 2007.6 Furthermore, during that timeframe, the majority of accommodations given, 67%, were for extra testing time, extra rest time, or a separate testing room.7 An applicant who is granted extra time as an accommodation typically received up to time-and-a-half for the test.8 When extra time is given as an accommodation, the score is reported individually and the person does not receive a percentile rating. The LSAC sends a letter to the law school notifying the institution of this practice and that the score attained with the extra time is "nonstandard." This procedure is commonly called "flagging" a score.
A consensus within the testing and academic communities recognizes that extra time for those with learning disabilities and some other disabilities is an acceptable accommodation for an entrance examination, although there continues to be disagreement about the amount of extra

time that should be granted. For example, the LSAC typically grants at most time-and-a-half, while the College Board (which administers the SAT, PSAT, and Advanced Placement tests) gives up to double the amount of time. Yet when an accommodated score is labeled as "nonstandard" or when a testing agency tells the academic program that the score does not conform to the scores of students who were not given accommodations, the student with the accommodated score is placed at a serious disadvantage. There are serious policy, ethical, and social problems involved with flagged scores, including disregard for an applicant's desire not to have his or her disability revealed and the potential attachment of a stigma during the admission process. If scores are to be flagged, it should be done with the consent of the applicant.
Pursuant to a federal court case dealing with flagged SAT scores,9 a Blue Ribbon Panel of experts was convened to study whether flagged/accommodated SAT scores were comparable, and as valid as, non-accommodated SAT scores. The Panel's majority concluded that the SAT scores of accommodated tests had results equivalent to tests with no accommodations.10 Educational Testing Service (ETS), the entity which oversees administration of the SAT, has found there is a positive correlation between tests with extra time given and achievement in college; in other words, SAT scores of those with extra time as an accommodation "were fairly accurate predictors of [first year grade point averages] for students with learning disabilities."11 Therefore, in 2003, the College Board abandoned the flagging of test scores that had extra time as an accommodation. Following the College Board's lead, American College Testing, Inc., halted flagging of the ACT test shortly thereafter.
There is a growing body of case law dealing with the granting of accommodations for and the flagging of law school admission tests. Additionally, there are numerous lawsuits involving the LSAC and other graduate school-related testing agencies that have been settled out of court. Most agreements are with individual plaintiffs and involve making accommodations for one applicant which expire after the applicant takes the test. In recent years, two larger settlement agreements were reached between the LSAC and both the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the National Federation of the Blind (NFB). The agreement with DOJ dealt primarily with the review process of accommodation requests. The agreement with the NFB is tailored towards accommodations for those with visual impairments.
Accommodations
Judge David S. Tatel, who is blind, described how accommodations made it possible for him to serve as Judge on the U. S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in an address to the National Conference on the Employment of Lawyers with Disabilities, co-sponsored by the ABA Commission on Mental & Physical Disability Law, the ABA Office of the President and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2006. Judge Tatel described how the use of a

reader, Braille Speak for note-taking, and other accommodations eliminated the impact of his disability on his work. He added:
One of the most interesting things I noticed in my law firm, and I now notice on my court, is the extent to which the institution subconsciously accommodates to the needs of people with disabilities. When I first started people had never worked with a blind lawyer, and there were awkward moments. There were periods of time I would go to a meeting and people were talking about a document that I might not have seen ahead of time. People would be silently reading it, and I would clear my throat until finally one person would get the point and start reading aloud. Well, after a couple of years, people began to read things out loud just on their own. It became second nature. The same thing happened on the D.C. Circuit.12
In the landmark case of Tennessee v. Lane, the Supreme Court highlighted the importance of providing accommodations so as to prevent exclusion:
The unequal treatment of disabled persons in the administration of judicial services has a long history, and has persisted despite several legislative efforts to remedy the problem of disability discrimination. Faced with considerable evidence of the shortcomings of previous legislative responses, Congress was justified in concluding that this "difficult and intractable proble[m]" warranted "added prophylactic measures in response." . . . Recognizing that failure to accommodate persons with disabilities will often have the same practical effect as outright exclusion, Congress required the States to take reasonable measures to remove architectural and other barriers to accessibility.
Accommodations, when needed, are essential to prevent discrimination against individuals with disabilities. Congress recognized this in the context of high stakes testing when it enacted the ADA. Title III of the ADA codifies the concept that it is discriminatory not to "offer such examinations or courses in a place and manner accessible to persons with disabilities or offer alternative accessible arrangements for such individuals."13 Moreover, DOJ regulations implementing ADA Title III state that a test-administering entity shall make sure that:
[t]he examination is selected and administered so as to best ensure that, when the examination is administered to an individual with a disability that impairs sensory, manual, or speaking skills, the examination results accurately reflect the individual's aptitude or achievement level or whatever other factor the examination purports to measure, rather than reflecting the individual's [disability.]14
Furthermore, private entities that offer admission testing are required to:

AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION FOR THE LEGAL PROFESSION, at 30-31 (2006)

provide appropriate auxiliary aids for persons with impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills, unless that entity can demonstrate that offering a particular auxiliary aid would fundamentally alter the measurement of the skills or knowledge the examination is intended to test or would result in an undue burden.15
Because ending discrimination requires accommodation of individual needs, determining what accommodations "best ensure" equality in a given instance requires a fact-specific, individualized analysis of the test taker's circumstances.16 Regulations regarding testing and accommodations under the ADA, recently released by the DOJ, underscore the importance of this process and stress the importance of having the testing agency: request documentation of an impairment in a reasonable manner; give considerable weight to documentation of previously used accommodations; and work with the applicant in a timely manner.17
Law school entrance examinations are high stakes tests. The Attorney General, in issuing the regulations on testing accommodations, recognized this fact noting "the importance of ensuring that the key gateways to education and employment are open to individuals with disabilities."18 An "accessible" exam must provide a qualified individual with a disability an opportunity to demonstrate his or her knowledge and ability equal to that which it extends to other test takers.19
Moreover, law school entrance examinations will continue to be relied on by most law schools even if the ABA decides no longer to make them a mandatory requirement in order to receive ABA-accreditation. They not only help to determine whether an applicant is admitted to law school, but whether an applicant will receive financial support and has access to the nation's leading law schools. Admission to a prestigious law school is more than an economic benefit for a student. Attending a prestigious law school opens up opportunities in government and public life, prestigious private law firms, judicial clerkships in higher courts, and access to judicial appointments at the highest levels later in life. The U.S. Supreme Court recognized the significance of gaining admission to the leading law schools in Grutter v. Bollinger:
Individuals with law degrees occupy roughly half the state governorships, more than half the seats in the United States Senate, and more than a third of the seats in the United States House of Representatives. The pattern is even more striking when it comes to highly selective law schools. A handful of these schools accounts for 25 of the 100 United States Senators, 74 United States Courts of Appeals judges, and nearly 200 of the more than 600 United States District Court judges.
In order to cultivate a set of leaders with legitimacy in the eyes of the citizenry, it is necessary that the path to leadership be visibly open to talented and qualified individuals of every race and ethnicity. All members of our heterogeneous society must have

confidence in the openness and integrity of the educational institutions that provide this training. As we have recognized, law schools "cannot be effective in isolation from the individuals and institutions with which the law interacts." Access to legal education (and thus the legal profession) must be inclusive of talented and qualified individuals of every race and ethnicity, so that all members of our heterogeneous society may participate in the educational institutions that provide the training and education necessary to succeed in America.20
Although the Grutter case concerned a program to promote diversity by race and ethnicity at the University of Michigan Law School, the Court's observation that all members of our heterogeneous society should have an equal opportunity to participate in the educational institutions that train our leaders also applies to individuals with disabilities.
Conclusion
Making law schools accessible to individuals with disabilities can help ensure that the legal profession is more open to persons with disabilities than it is now. The Association should encourage entities that administer law school admission testing and the law schools that rely on such testing to implement the ADA and to look for creative ways to make legal education and the legal profession more accessible to students with disabilities.
