ADA Judge Robert W. Sweet of Federal District Court in Manhattan, NY on April 17th found the Mount Sinai Medical Center guilty of discriminating against the husband of a Deaf couple for not providing a sign language interpreter during Lamaze classes. This occurred in 1997 when the Bravins were living in New York City. The judge ruled that the hospital violated state and Federal laws requiring accommodations for the disabled, but rejected the class-action claim of the Bravins and the Civic Association of the Deaf of New York City, a watchdog group on the legal rights of the Deaf. U.S. Senator Charles Schumer will be guest speaker.
Admission is free.
