Retired federal appellate court Judge Tatel will discuss the courts, his life in the law, and his recent memoir, Vision: A Memoir of Blindness and Justice. As former civil rights lawyer, Judge Tatel litigated cases involving integration of public schools, legal aid for indigent clients, and Title IX cases. His service on the D.C. Circuit, form 1994 until 2024, was marked by several high-profile opinions in environmental cases, court access for Guantanamo Bay detainees, voting rights and disability rights issues. He was perennially considered a candidate for nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Tatel’s personal and professional lives were also profoundly influenced by losing his sight, an impairment he hid early in his career before embracing it later in life.
