The Legal Rights of Persons With Disabilities Committee (LRPWDC) is a committee of the public interest section of the Philadelphia Bar Association. The committee’s members are a diverse group of practitioners specializing in, and committed to, representing persons with disabilities. The committee tries to meet once a month to discuss emerging trends in the law, developments affecting persons with disabilities, possible resolutions for the Board of Governors, as well as practical pointers in navigating these ever-changing areas of the law.
The LRPWDC was recently successful in authoring a resolution that was passed by the Board of Governors, impacting voter accessibility for persons with disabilities. In recent months, the LRPWDC has been spear-heading the effort to pass a resolution concerning the effects of the Supreme Court’s decision in Buckhannon Board and Care Home v. West Virginia Dep’t of Health and Human Services, 532 U.S. 598 (2001).
