The Blog of William D. Goren, J.D. LL.M.
Before getting started on the blog entry of the week (I had a few hours to myself and I find writing blog entries relaxing, NK), I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, happy holidays, and a happy new year.
In 2015, Department of Justice issued a guidance entitled, “frequently asked questions about…
It is that time of the year for the greatest hits of 2024. The greatest hits section of the blog contains the top 10 for the year as well as certain other blog entries that are not in the top 10, but I feel are very important to know are out there. Here goes the…
I started writing this blog on election day, which turned out to be very interesting by the end of it with President Trump winning both the popular and electoral votes. Of course, the next question is what does that election mean for persons with disabilities. We don’t know, but a few immediate thoughts come to…
As everyone knows, I keep a pipeline of cases to blog on. Sometimes, even with my pipeline of cases, I just get stuck. One of the things that my readers may not realize is that while my practice focuses on understanding the ADA so that the client understands how to comply with that law and…
On Friday of last week, I presented to the Minnesota CLE Health Law Institute in Minneapolis on working with disabled clients and disabled attorneys. One of the cases that came up is the one that we are going to be talking about this week, Battle v. state of Tennessee, here, decided by the Middle…

It turns out that the rule was finalized in 2016. Somehow, I didn’t blog on that. Now, HHS has issued a revised final rule for §1557. I…
As I anticipated, it was not possible for me to get a blog entry up last week with all the traveling I was doing. However, I am back now. Recently, HHS came out with their final 504 regulations, which we previously blogged on the proposed regulations here. There were a few changes that are…
Today’s blog entry discusses the oral argument in two cases heard by the United States Supreme Court last week. Both of which asked the question of whether Chevron deference will continue to be a viable doctrine. We know from reading cases over the years, cases the various justices were involved in while on the various…
Before getting started on the blog entry of the week, I wanted to give everyone a heads up as to the blogging schedule for the rest of the calendar year. My daughter comes home for a three week break on December 13, so we have this blog this week. I will also have a blog…
