OBA PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (ET)

This program is the third in a series of eight programs that make up the Foundations in Adjudicative Tribunal Competencies: Certificate Program.

Ensuring equality before a Tribunal requires awareness and insights on disability and accessibility issues faced by those appearing before you. Whether dealing with mental health issues or physical disabilities, understanding those in your hearing room can result in more effective time management and help facilitate a fair hearing. Join our panel of experts to hear an update on Tribunal accessibility/accommodations, how tribunals manage accessibility/accommodation requests and challenges adjudicators may face with self-represented parties with varying abilities.
