Expected Attendance: 400 – 450 pp. 

GPSolo Chair Scott C. LaBarre suddenly passed away on December 10, 2023, and the 2023 ABA Annual Meeting would have been the final meeting of his tenure as Chair. In addition to his incredible work with GPSolo, Scott was an active leader in the organized blind movement, serving as Chair of the Colorado Center for the Blind, leading the National Association of Blind Lawyers, and establishing the Jacobus tenBroek Disability Law Symposium. Scott ran a solo law firm in Colorado, where he practiced in the fields of employment law, disability rights, and international copyright policy while raising a family with his wife, Anahit. Scott’s impact on GPSolo is indescribable. He was not only an amazing leader and advocate for our Division but also a dear friend. We are eternally grateful for Scott’s incalculable impact on the organized blind movement and the legal profession. Please join us as we raise a glass in his honor!
