Each year, New York Law School's Justice Action Center, in cooperation with Congressman Coelho and other generous financial supporters, presents the Tony Coelho Lecture in Disability Employment Law & Policy. Lecturers include national leaders in politics, government, policy, business, organized labor, entertainment, the disabilities community, or other related communities. The lectures contribute to our understanding of the issues associated with increasing the employment rate among people with disabilities.
The Coelho Lecture is open to the public with a special emphasis on outreach to the disabilities, legal, and policy communities. Our hope is that the generous financial support of donors and sponsors will make it possible both to publicize the Coelho Lecture broadly and to distribute each Coelho Lecturer's address widely. For example, Congressman Coelho's speech has been published in the New York Law School Law Review and other publications.
For more information about the Tony Coelho Lecture in Disability Employment Law & Policy, please contact Professor Seth Harris at sharris@nyls.edu or 212-431-2826.
