Subject: Court victory for blind movie goers

Dear friends and colleagues:  

I was on vacation when the Ninth Circuit opinion in the Harkins movie theater case came out on April 30, but I have now posted something on my website about this tremendous victory.  The direct link is:  http://lflegal.com/2010/05/harkins-opinion/

The Ninth Circuit opinion allows an Arizona case seeking audio description (for blind and visually impaired movie goers) and captioning (for deaf and hearing impaired theater patrons) to proceed.  

Congratulations to the plaintiffs, the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, the Arizona Center for Disability Law, the amicus parties and their lawyers, and the U.S. Department of Justice.   Great commitment, great result!
