Hi All,

We've had to repost this vacancy announcement due to a clerical error.
Unfortunately, those who previously applied will have to apply again if they
wish to be considered.  Others may also apply even if they didn't
previously.  The posting closes on January 9, 2023.

Hi Friends,

Please find below a posting for a vacancy on my staff.  I'd love to hire a
lawyer with a disability for this position, and applicants can use the
Schedule A Hiring Authority.  Please apply quickly though, as the vacancy
announcement closes either on December 3, 2022 or once we receive 150
applications, whichever is sooner.  The locality says Woodlawn, Maryland,
but this is a remote inside position, which means the individual can live
anywhere in the USA but would be responsible for getting themselves to
Baltimore for in-person meetings periodically.  Please also note the salary
listed is the base salary for any Federal job and does not include locality
pay, which could raise the minimum salary a lot.

specialized experience equivalent to the GS-12 grade level in the Federal
government, obtained in either the private or public sector, to include: (1)

Additional information


Bargaining Unit Position: No
Tour of Duty: Flexible
Recruitment/Relocation Incentive: Not Authorized
Financial Disclosure: Not Required

To ensure compliance with an applicable preliminary nationwide injunction,
which may be supplemented, modified, or vacated, depending on the course of
ongoing litigation, the Federal Government will take no action to implement
or enforce Executive Order 14043 Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019
Vaccination for Federal Employees. Therefore, to the extent a federal job
announcement includes the requirement to be fully vaccinated against
COVID-19 pursuant to Executive Order 14043, that requirement does not
currently apply. Positions with vaccination requirements under
authority(ies) separate and distinct from Executive Order 14043 will be
clearly identified. HHS may continue to require documentation of proof of
vaccination to ensure compliance with those policies. Health and safety
protocols remain in effect, in accordance with CDC guidance and the Safer
Federal Workforce Task force. Consistent with current guidance, workplace
safety protocols will no longer vary based on vaccination status or
otherwise depend on the availability of vaccination information. Therefore,
to the extent a job announcement states that HHS may request information
regarding the vaccination status of selected applicants for the purposes of
implementing workplace safety protocols, this statement does not currently
apply.

Remote-In Positions at CMS: This is a remote position; however, the position
reports to a CMS Office on a periodic basis (e.g. 8-12 times per year).
Requirements to report to the office will vary and can be discussed at the
time of interview. As such, your pay will be based on your home address. For
more information on locality and pay scales, please
<https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/> click
here. Your worksite must be within the United States and you must adhere to
all regulations and policies regarding remote work at CMS and in the federal
government, including the signing of a remote work agreement.

The Interagency Career Transition Assistance Plan (ICTAP) and Career
Transition Assistance Plan (CTAP) provide eligible displaced federal
employees with selection priority over other candidates for competitive
service vacancies. To be qualified you must submit the required
documentation and be rated well-qualified for this vacancy.
<http://www.cms.gov/About-CMS/Career-Information/CareersatCMS/Downloads/Requ
iredDocuments-.pdf> Click here for a detailed description of the required
supporting documents. A well-qualified applicant is one whose knowledge,
skills and abilities clearly exceed the minimum qualification requirements
of the position. Additional information about ICTAP and CTAP eligibility is

excerpt:


The settlement resolves allegations that Educational Testing Service (ETS), a New Jersey non-profit organization that administers standardized tests, engaged in discrimination in violation of the ADA by creating unlawful hurdles to individuals with disabilities who sought testing accommodations. Among other things, the United States alleged that ETS unlawfully denied requests for testing accommodations or failed to timely consider requests for testing accommodations, effectively denying those requests.

Under the settlement, ETS agrees to comprehensive reforms that will require timely determinations on any requests for testing accommodations and narrow the organization’s inquiries related to requests for accommodations. ETS also agrees to pay damages to several complainants – up to $10,000 – who sought testing accommodations that were denied or delayed.

Subject: [dei-community] Justice in Aging is hiring

The national advocacy organization, Justice in Aging<https://justiceinaging.org/>, is hiring an experienced litigator to develop and bring systemic reform cases on behalf of older adults. They have offices in CA and DC, but the position is remote so you wouldn't even have to relocate.

 Opportunity Specialist
Message-ID: <00ca01d926ba$4f7c9ec0$ee75dc40$@gmail.com>

Hi All,

Here's another vacancy announcement on my staff.  The posting closes on
January 23, 2023.  I am doing significant hiring in order to implement the
Inflation Reduction Act, and this particular posting uses something called
Direct Hire Authority, which is less intensive than the standard Federal job
application process.  Nonetheless, I would encourage those who apply to
ensure their resumes are thorough and detailed.

demonstrate in your resume at least one year (52 weeks) of qualifying
specialized experience equivalent to the GS-11 grade level in the Federal
government, obtained in either the private or public sector, to include: (1)

Additional information


Bargaining Unit Position: No
Tour of Duty: Flexible
Recruitment/Relocation Incentive: Not Authorized
Financial Disclosure: Not Required

This position will be in direct support of the Inflation Reduction Act of
2022. This Act increases healthcare spending by nearly $100 billion, mainly
by extending the American Rescue Plan's temporarily-expanded Affordable Care
Act (ACA) premium tax credits for an additional three years, through 2025.
The bill will also allow Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices,
implement improvements to Medicare Part D including a benefit redesign and
new manufacturer discount program, impose inflation rebates for Part B and
Part D drugs, and other miscellaneous changes in Part B and Part D to
improve the affordability of prescription drugs.

To ensure compliance with an applicable preliminary nationwide injunction,
which may be supplemented, modified, or vacated, depending on the course of
ongoing litigation, the Federal Government will take no action to implement
or enforce Executive Order 14043 Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019
Vaccination for Federal Employees. Therefore, to the extent a federal job
announcement includes the requirement to be fully vaccinated against
COVID-19 pursuant to Executive Order 14043, that requirement does not
currently apply. Positions with vaccination requirements under
authority(ies) separate and distinct from Executive Order 14043 will be
clearly identified. HHS may continue to require documentation of proof of
vaccination to ensure compliance with those policies. Health and safety
protocols remain in effect, in accordance with CDC guidance and the Safer
Federal Workforce Task force. Consistent with current guidance, workplace
safety protocols will no longer vary based on vaccination status or
otherwise depend on the availability of vaccination information. Therefore,
to the extent a job announcement states that HHS may request information
regarding the vaccination status of selected applicants for the purposes of
implementing workplace safety protocols, this statement does not currently
apply.

Remote-In Positions at CMS: This is a remote position; however, the position
reports to a CMS Office on a periodic basis (e.g. 8-12 times per year).
Requirements to report to the office will vary and can be discussed at the
time of interview. As such, your pay will be based on your home address. For
more information on locality and pay scales, please
<https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/> click
here. Your worksite must be within the United States and you must adhere to
all regulations and policies regarding remote work at CMS and in the federal
government, including the signing of a remote work agreement.

The Interagency Career Transition Assistance Plan (ICTAP) and Career
Transition Assistance Plan (CTAP) provide eligible displaced federal
employees with selection priority over other candidates for competitive
service vacancies. To be qualified you must submit the required
documentation and be rated well-qualified for this vacancy.
<http://www.cms.gov/About-CMS/Career-Information/CareersatCMS/Downloads/Requ
iredDocuments-.pdf> Click here for a detailed description of the required
supporting documents. A well-qualified applicant is one whose knowledge,
skills and abilities clearly exceed the minimum qualification requirements
of the position. Additional information about ICTAP and CTAP eligibility is

How You Will Be Evaluated


You will be evaluated for this job based on how well you meet the
qualifications above.

Additional selections may be made from this announcement for similar
positions within CMS with the same remote/telework designation and same
geographical location, if applicable. For example, for Woodlawn, MD
vacancies the "same geographical location" includes Baltimore, Maryland;
Bethesda, Maryland; and Washington, D.C.

Traditional rating and ranking of applications does not apply to this
vacancy. Applications will be evaluated against the basic qualifications.
Qualified candidates will be referred for consideration in accordance with
the
<https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/hiring-information/direct-hire-au
thority/#url=Overview> Office of Personnel Management direct hire
guidelines. Veterans' Preference does not apply to direct hire recruitment
procedures. Selections made under this vacancy announcement will be
processed as new appointments to the civil service. Current civil service
employees would, therefore, be given new appointments to the civil service;
however, benefits, time served and all other Federal entitlements would
remain the same.

Hi folks,

I am in Buffalo NY. That’s only a quick one hour flight away. Not that I can just get off to New York City whenever I feel like it. But the notion of getting together with other blind lawyers in New York state is very appealing! Perhaps we can even consider regular zoom gatherings, for folks like me :-)  not that I’m a lawyer, yet, hopefully a year from now that will  have changed.

Sincerely,

CALL TO ACTION!
Submit Comments to Oppose Proposed Amendments to the Rules of the State Bar Pertaining to Testing Accommodations
The State Bar of California, charged with managing the admission of lawyers practice law in California, has proposed a rule change that will impact candidates with disabilities. The proposed rules, if implemented, will make it even harder to obtain testing accommodations and be a step backward for disability access and inclusion.

We deserve a diverse bar with lawyers of all backgrounds and statuses so we can facilitate access to justice, improve legal services, offer role models, and promote public confidence. We must let the State Bar of California know that we cannot go back in time.
The deadline to submit comments is Tuesday, January 31, 2023.
DREDF has prepared a sample comment letter<https://dredf.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d8372142072c8ce7f2e90e349&id=717d85ca7d&e=a6cad34f6c> and main points<https://dredf.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d8372142072c8ce7f2e90e349&id=47a8521d80&e=a6cad34f6c> that you can use to craft your comments. We want the State Bar to adopt rules that ensure that applicants have the testing accommodations they need on the bar exam -- not rules that limit and deny accommodations.

You can use the template letter by:

  *   filling in information about your organization (or if you are an individual, about yourself);
  *   selecting which paragraphs you wish to include (the point made by each paragraph is set out in purple and in brackets at the beginning of the paragraph)

Submit comments via the online form
You can input your comments directly into a textbox or by uploading your comment letter and/or other attachments using the online Public Comment Form<https://dredf.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d8372142072c8ce7f2e90e349&id=5738bdb2f8&e=a6cad34f6c>.
and via email
To get the comments circulated to the committee members in a different, more visible way than via the online form, you may send your/your organization’s comments to State Bar staff, Louisa.Ayrapetyan at calbar.ca.gov<mailto:Louisa.Ayrapetyan at calbar.ca.gov> & Devan.McFarland at calbar.ca.gov<mailto:Devan.McFarland at calbar.ca.gov>

Okay, so where are the specific proposed rules that we are asked to oppose?
One would think that if you want me to oppose something of which I have no idea is coming down the pipe,
One would provide such exact material that we should oppose.
Furthermore, I get that you guys are a lobby organization, but this kind of totally slanted rhetoric can not be tolerated within the legal profession; we are supposed to be above that.
Just my two cents; and that is all I have.


Please advise as you like.

Hi everyone, the original note was shared for informational purposes only. The individual who forwarded it was sharing that this was an issue and that there was a call to action. The National Association of Blind Lawyers leadership and the National Federation of the Blind are still gathering information about what is happening in order to determine whether or not we will take an official position and whether or not we will recommend people sign on or not. We will keep you posted.

> Submit Comments to Oppose Proposed Amendments to the Rules of the State Bar Pertaining to Testing Accommodations The State Bar of California, charged with managing the admission of lawyers practice law in California, has proposed a rule change that will impact candidates with disabilities. The proposed rules, if implemented, will make it even harder to obtain testing accommodations and be a step backward for disability access and inclusion.

> We deserve a diverse bar with lawyers of all backgrounds and statuses so we can facilitate access to justice, improve legal services, offer role models, and promote public confidence. We must let the State Bar of California know that we cannot go back in time.

Hello All,

I have been asked to forward the below email. I have been active in the ABA
for 11 years now and currently serve on the Board of Governors. The
appointments application for the chance to be appointed to one of the over
700 entities is a great opportunity. Whether you practice disability rights
law or another area, there is great opportunity to make connections,
influence policy and just meet wonderful lawyers.  
Thank you.

Dear all,

I have a friend who is trying to ensure that he can qualify for his long-term disability at work. My friend would also like to know how FMLA impacts his insurance and other benefits. Do any of you have a recommendation for someone my friend could consult with? Please email me offline at pattischang at gmail.com<mailto:pattischang at gmail.com>.

Thanks so much.

Plaintiffs Set a New Record for Website Accessibility Lawsuit Filings in 2022
By Seyfarth Shaw LLP
POSTED IN ADA TITLE III, WEBSITE
By Kristina M. Launey & Minh N. Vu
January 23, 2023

Seyfarth Synopsis: Plaintiffs filed 3,225 website accessibility lawsuits in federal court in 2022 - a 12% increase over 2021.
2022 was another record setting year for website accessibility lawsuits filed in federal court.  The total number of lawsuits filed in federal court alleging that plaintiffs with a disability could not use websites because they were not designed to be accessible and/or work with assistive technologies in 2022 was 3,255-360 more than 2021. This 12% increase in the number of lawsuits in 2022 is just slightly lower than the 14% 2021 increase, and matches the 12% increase we saw in 2020.  While these numbers pale by comparison to the explosion of cases we saw from 2017 to 2018 (an increase of 177%), the continued year-over-year increases are still very significant.
ADA Title III Website Accessibility Lawsuits in Federal Court 2017-2022: 2017: 814; 2018: 2,258 (177% increase from 2017); 2019: 2,256 (.01% decrease from 2018), 2020: 2,523 (12% increase from 2019); 2021: 2,895 (14% increase from 2020); 2022: 3,255 (12% increase from 2021). *The number of cases that could be identified through a diligent search.]
Especially striking is the fact that, based on our soon-to-be-released overall 2022 ADA Title III lawsuit numbers, these website accessibility lawsuits made up a whopping 37% of the ADA Title III lawsuits filed in 2022, up from roughly 25% in 2021.
The first half of 2022 saw a steady climb from 210 in January to 383 in March, a dip to 164 in April, then spikes at 412 and 448 in May and June. The monthly numbers were more consistent at between 232-273 in July through October, with a dip to 163 in November, before a December finish of 201.
Total Number of Website Accessibility Lawsuits Filed by Month (Jan. 2022 - Dec. 2022): Jan. 2021 (210), Feb. 2021 (285), Mar. 2021 (383), Apr. 2021 (164), May 2021 (412), Jun. 2021 (448), Jul. 2021 (232), Aug. 2021 (237), Sep. 2021 (247), Oct. 2021 (273), Nov. 2021 (163), Dec. 2021 (201). *The number of cases that could be identified through a diligent search.]
New York, Florida, and California federal courts continued to be the busiest by far, with Florida regaining the #2 spot and Pennsylvania besting California for the #3 spot.  New York federal courts continued to be bombarded with lawsuits, totaling 2,560 lawsuits in 2022 (continuing an upward trend from 2,074 in 2021, 1,694 in 2020, 1,354 in 2019, and 1,564 in 2018).  Florida was a distant second with 310 lawsuits. California federal courts saw only 126 lawsuits in 2022 (halting the prior upward trend of 359 in 2021, 223 in 2020, 120 in 2019, and 10 in 2018), as shown in the chart below. Pennsylvania passed the 200 mark at 216 in 2022, materially up from 167 lawsuits filed in 2021 and 173 in 2020.  Illinois retained the #5 spot with 19 suits-considerably fewer than its 34 in 2021 and 32 in 2020 and 91 in 2019). Connecticut and Indiana remained in the top 10 with relatively meager numbers at 5 and 2, respectively, and newcomers Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Minnesota beat out Oregon and Wisconsin for the final 3 top 10 spots, with 13, 3, and 1 filings, respectively.
Top 10 States for Federal ADA Title III Website Accessibility Lawsuits 2022: NY 2,560, FL 310, PA 216, CA 126, IL 19, MA 13, CT 5, NC 3, IN 2, MN 1. *The number of cases that could be identified through a diligent search.][Graph: New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, and California Federal ADA Title III Website Accessibility Lawsuits 2017-2022: NY: 2017 (335), 2018 (1,564), 2019 (1,358), 2020 (1,694), 2021 (2,074), 2022 (2,560); FL: 2017 (325), 2018 (576), 2019 (529), 2020 (302), 2021 (185), 2022 (310); PA: 2017 (58), 2018 (42), 2019 (92), 2020 (173), 2021 (167), 2022 (216); CA: 2017 (9), 2018 (10), 2019 (121), 2020 (223), 2021 (360), 2022 (126).
If you're wondering why California has so few website accessibility cases relative to New York, it is likely because New York courts have been more favorable toward plaintiffs, especially when the defendant is an online-only business. Whether online only businesses are covered by the ADA remains unanswered by the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit; however, with a few exceptions, district court judges in New York that have addressed the issue have found that online only businesses are covered by the ADA.
In contrast, in California, both federal and state courts of appeals have reached the conclusion that online only businesses are not covered by the ADA, making it much more difficult (if not impossible) for plaintiffs to sue online-only businesses for accessibility violations.  Thus, we predict fewer website accessibility cases in both California state and federal courts in the future.
These numbers do not account for the many demand letters sent out by law firms which never result in lawsuits, as well as lawsuits filed in state courts (mostly in California) which are more difficult to track.  These numbers also do not include lawsuits filed alleging that a mobile app is inaccessible, unless the lawsuit also alleged an inaccessible website.
Will the Title II rulemaking effort slated to start in 2023 make a difference in the 2023 lawsuit count?  Unlikely, as that process can take a significant amount of time, and only would apply to state and local governments under Title II and not private businesses.  While a Title III rulemaking could follow, it is highly unlikely to be completed by the end of this Presidential term.
***
About our methodology:  Our 2022 numbers are based on searches using keywords of data from the Courthouse News Services.  Thus, it is possible that there are some website accessibility cases that were not captured in the searches if their descriptions did not include the keywords.  We then review the thousands of entries manually to remove lawsuits that may be about websites but are not about a website's accessibility to a user with a disability.  For example, there were a number of lawsuits in 2018-2021 (a very large explosion of such suits in 2021 in California) brought by plaintiffs with mobility disabilities alleging that the reservations websites of hotels did not provide adequate information about the accessibility of hotel facilities.
