Events & Calendars "Disability and the Law"

Come listen to Dan Goldstein, class of 1969, speak about his work with disability and the law! Dan will discuss how we got to where we are, why progress is so slow and what tools we can use for change. There will be a Q&A following the talk.

Dan has won numerous awards for his service to the community, including the American Bar Association’s Paul G. Hearne Award for Disability Rights and 2018 Baltimore Civil Rights Law Lawyer of the Year.

As counsel for the National Federation of the Blind, Dan initiated a national legal campaign to ensure access to technology. His settlement of a class action against Cardtronics, which provides for tens of thousands of voice-guided ATMs, constituted a major step toward making this ubiquitous convenience accessible to the blind. His suit against Target.com set precedent regarding the application of access laws to websites, and his suit against America Online made AOL accessible to the blind.

A former federal prosecutor, Dan’s criminal practice included successfully avoiding prosecution for a target of an independent counsel, representing an attorney charged with campaign financing violations, a minister charged with mail fraud and various medical practitioners charged with insurance fraud, as well as persons charged federally with violent crimes.

There will be Crazy Noodles, drinks and dessert. The event is sponsored by The Roosevelt Institute and CAB.
