Summary
Attorneys from Schneider Wallace Cottrell Brayton Konecky LLP, with co-counsel The Legal Aid Society - Employment Law Center, successfully challenged policies and communication barriers that made it impossible for deaf and hard of hearing students to gain equal and meaningful access to the educational opportunities offered by the two University of California campuses.

Result
The court granted final approval of a class action settlement in this matter, which has revolutionized the way in which deaf and hard of hearing students are treated at the universities.
