Clinical Program Receives $20K from Alumnus Settlement

Alumnus Glen Gordon ’90 was plaintiffs’ class counsel in a 12-year disability rights lawsuit against the Colorado Department of Revenue for its practice of charging people who applied for handicapped parking placards. As part of the settlement of the class action, Gordon successfully requested that the court allocate a portion of cy pres funds ($20,000) to Colorado Law’s Clinical Education Program. The Clinic will use the funds to cover expenses in its work to help people applying for Social Security disability benefits whose claims have been denied. Associate Professor and Director of Clinical Programs Deborah Cantrell said she was thrilled when she found out about the cash infusion.
