Goren JD LLM LLC \nWilliam D. Goren\, Esq.\, of William D. Goren\, J.D.\, LL.M. LLC in Decatur\, GA\, has been dealing with the ADA as an Attorney since 1990. His law and consulting practice\, https://www.understandingtheada.com/\, as well as his blog\, Understanding the ADA\, (a member of the ABA Top 100 for five consecutive years\, 2014-2018- there was no ABA 100 in 2019-2021)\, all focus on understanding the ADA so that the client understands what it means to comply with that law and related laws. In particular\, he provides consulting\, counseling\, representation\, and training services involving compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act\, Rehabilitation Act of 1973\, and related laws- such as the Air Carrier Access Act and the Fair Housing Act\, among others. Mr. Goren also brings a deep\, personal understanding of what it means to have a disability\, equipping him with exceptional insight on how the ADA actually works. He is deaf with a congenital bilateral hearing loss of 65–90+ decibels\, but functions entirely in the hearing world thanks to hearing aids\, Bluetooth technology\, and lip-reading. For reasons independent of his deafness\, he also uses voice dictation technology to access his computer. He is also a frequent presenter\, a trained mediator\, a FINRA arbitrator (Chairperson eligible)\, and an arbitrator on the CPR employment panel. Finally\, he is the author of Understanding the ADA\, now in its 4th edition (ABA 2013)\, and numerous other articles on the rights of persons with disabilities. He is a member of various committees of the American Bar Association and is also a member of: the Federal Bar Association (FBA) Diversity and Inclusion committee; the FBA’s Civil Rights committee and its Governing Board; FBA’s Civil Rights Amicus committee; and the Chair of the FBA’s Working Group on Disability Best Practices\, which formulated an accessibility manual for the FBA and its chapters. He is also a member of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Bar Association and its lead for its Amicus committee. He has an A.B. from Vassar College\, a J.D. from University of San Diego School of Law\, and was one of the first in the entire country to receive the LL.M. in health law\, in his case from DePaul University College of Law. Interesting fact: He trained his miniature poodle to be a hearing dog while he practices virtually. \nAnthony May\, Partner\, Brown Goldstein & Levy \nAnthony May has represented clients in a variety of complex litigation matters including assisting employees with disabilities in obtaining accessible technology and accommodations in the workplace\, representing individuals who have been wrongfully convicted\, commercial litigation disputes\, and fighting workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation. \nPrior to joining the firm\, Anthony was the Francis D. Murnaghan\, Jr. Appellate Advocacy Fellow at The Public Justice Center\, where he represented indigent clients\, authored amicus briefs\, and argued in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and Maryland appellate courts on various anti-poverty and civil rights cases. He clerked on the Appellate Court of Maryland (formerly known as the Maryland Court of Special Appeals) for the Honorable Deborah Sweet Eyler (Ret.). \nWhile attending law school\, Anthony worked as a law clerk at Brown Goldstein & Levy\, was the Executive Symposium Editor of the Journal of Race\, Religion\, Gender & Class\, a semi-finalist in the ABA Labor & Employment Law Trial Competition\, and a Legal Writing Fellow. \n\n\nRegistration\nRegister Here\n\n\nLive Broadcast | FBA Member: $0\nLive Broadcast | Nonmember: $95\nOn-Demand Broadcast | FBA Member: $50\nOn-Demand Broadcast | Nonmember: $95\n\n\n\nCLE\nPlease note: CLE for this webinar has not been pre-approved.\nMyLaw and the FBA will seek 1.0 General CLE credit hours in 60-minute states\, and 1.2 General CLE credit hours in 50-minute states. \nPosted credit hours are estimated and subject to respective state approval and rounding rules.
