[blindlaw] looking for articles for the Disability Rights Committee's second quarterly newsletter

Hi Deepa,

I just tried sending an email to request that I be added to the YLD listserv, but I must have goofed the address as it got kicked back to me.  I used:

Yld-disability at mail.americanbar.org

Can you tell me where I went wrong, or alternatively are you able to just add me yourself?

Thanks,
Andrew

Attached is the fall quarterly newsletter of the ABA Young Lawyers Division Disability Rights Committee. As a final reminder, our winter newsletter is due on the 19th so if anyone would like to submit an article concerning disability rights issues, please submit it by Friday of next week.
