    By Commentary by Carol C. Lumpkin, Stephanie Moot and Shawn Hogue | June 27, 2017

    This week, a much-anticipated ruling on website accessibility was issued out of the Southern District of Florida. The ruling in Gil v. Winn-Dixie Stores, case no. 16-23020-civ-Scola (S.D. FL 2017), will require the attention of businesses across the country that host websites. To recap, this was a case of first impression.

Lumpkin, Stephanie Moot and Shawn Hogue.
