On this
International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we are proud to congratulate
IntLawGrrl Hope Lewis, who is featured in the
December 2010 American Bar Association Lawyer Spotlight. In Hope's words, "Even before I had a disability, I saw disability as a human rights issue." She also discusses the global dimensions of disability discrimination and the importance of ensuring that members of society are proactive in their approach to disability rights. Hope provides human rights lawyers and scholars with an important reminder:
