  • The If/When/How of Disclosing to an Employer
    LOST IN TRANSITION: THE IF/WHEN/HOW OF DISCLOSING TO AN EMPLOYER BEGIN TRANSCRIPT GIHAN FERNANDO: Hello everyone. If you would take your seats, we're going to go ahead and get started. Thank you so much for joining us. I'm Gihan Fernando. I'm the Assistant Dean for Career Services at Georgetown Law. This is, I believe, the panel that is a little bit more career and job focused directly. But we will have elements, as we talk about things, about the state of the law, building on the prior panel, and then some of the practicalities and difficulties that students and attorneys with disabilities face in the marketplace. We will have, I hope, significant time for your questions about the particular situations you face as you counsel students or if you're students yourself. I know that there are students in the audience that have faced challenges going through the job search. Before we get started with the panel, I have a couple of announcements and shameless plugs. (Laughter) GIHAN FERNANDO: At Georgetown Law, we are one of the co- hosting schools for the Impact Job Fair. How many of you are not familiar with the Impact Job Fair? Oh good. This is good. The word is getting out. Impact is, I believe, one of the very few, if not the only, job fairs that is designed specifically for lawyers and law students with disabilities. And I just wanted to make sure that you all are aware of the next one that's coming up. It's August 7th, 2009 in Crystal City - at the Sheraton in Crystal City.

  • Voices of MLAC by John J
    Voices of MLAC By John J. Carroll, Esq. Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow, P.C. Access to Justice Fellow Project 2017-2018 PREFACE In his Access to Justice Fellowship with the Equal Justice Coalition, John Carroll interviewed leadership, staff, and other stakeholders in the Massachusetts legal services community. From these interviews, and using other historical resources, John authored the collection of narratives in this document, tracing the origins of civil legal aid in Massachusetts and detailing the vital services provided by the 14 programs funded by the Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation (a co-founding member of the EJC). These narratives will be translated into a variety of formats (articles, blog posts, fact sheets) for the EJC, MLAC, and civil legal aid programs to use in outreach, legislative advocacy, and other educational efforts. * Client names in this document have been changed to protect individual privacy. DEDICATION This project is dedicated to the men and women who work in, and have worked in the legal services programs described here. This year marks the 35th anniversary of MLAC’s existence. Over 30 current employees have been at their respective programs all that time. A special dedication to Lonnie Powers, who has been the Executive Director of MLAC since its inception. Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the inexhaustible energy of Catherine Rizos, Director of Communications at MLAC. Her skills in formatting, editing and project management were indispensable in bringing this work alive. Special thanks to Emily Spiewak and Sean Smerczynski at Meehan Boyle, who continually assisted in the drafting and editing process.

    UNITED STATES OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT STATEMENT OF THE HONORABLE CHRISTINE GRIFFIN DEPUTY DIRECTOR U.S. OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT before the SUBCOMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT OF GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT, THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS UNITED STATES SENATE on IMPROVING FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES --- FEBRUARY 16, 2011 Chairman Akaka, Ranking Member Johnson, and Members of the Subcommittee: Thank you for the opportunity to testify today regarding the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) role in improving Federal employment of people with disabilities. Improving the number of people with disabilities within the Federal government has been a major priority of this Administration. It has also been my personal goal for the last 5 years; first as a Commissioner at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and currently as the Deputy Director of OPM. Past Trends Securing a job with the Federal government has been a challenge for people with disabilities regardless of their education level, experience, skills, or abilities. Despite creating the Leadership for the Employment of Americans with Disabilities at the EEOC, which focused on increasing Federal employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities, I have not seen much progress over the past 5 years. In fact, there has not been much progress over the past 38 years even though the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires Federal agencies to have an affirmative employment program for the hiring, placement and advancement of people with disabilities. According to data from the EEOC, until Fiscal Year (FY) 2009, the number of individuals with targeted disabilities in the Federal workforce had been steadily decreasing.

    Campaign Finance Activity by Candidates for Statewide Office 1997-1998 Commonwealth of Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance One Ashburton Place Boston, MA 02108 (617) 727-8352 / (800) 462-OCPF Candidates for the six statewide offices spent a record $27.9 million in the two-year period leading up to the Nov. 3 general election, with record spending for three offices, according to figures compiled by the Office of Campaign and Political Finance. On Nov. 24, 1998, OCPF released fundraising and spending totals for the 23 candidates who were on the primary and/or general election ballot, based on statements filed by the committees’ depository banks. Revised figures were released in April 1999. A revised copy of the study is attached. According to candidates’ reports for all races, a total of $25,049,581 was raised and $27,876,979 was spent from Jan. 1, 1997, through Nov. 15, 1998. Those two totals exceed the previous highs of $23.3 million and $24.7 million, respectively, that were reported in the 1990 campaign and are almost twice the amounts reported in the 1994 campaign. The 1998 figures show record receipts and expenditures in the races for Governor, Attorney General and Auditor. The greatest activity was reported in the race for Governor, where the six candidates reported raising $16,054,591 and spending $18,621,409. Those two figures are the highest gubernatorial totals ever reported by OCPF and the highest figures for any single statewide race. Gov. Paul Cellucci also set individual records for fundraising and spending by a statewide candidate.
