The Bar’s only published ADA contact appears on the Spanish-language grievance form. The English form contains none.

The only online route to file a grievance requires a CAPTCHA. For someone with bilateral hand dysfunction relying on assistive technology, that can be a hard wall.

The Bar publishes how to request accommodations for its Annual Meeting. For the grievance process a disabled complainant must use, it publishes no equivalent.

The State Bar publishes a full staff directory with a department for nearly everything. It does not list an ADA Coordinator.

A consolidated list of outstanding questions about status, procedure, accommodation, and routing. The Bar answered a minority and declared the rest would not be processed.

An audit of the Bar’s website: one of twenty WCAG criteria met, focus indicators suppressed on 97 percent of elements, and no accessibility statement.

A numbered ledger of specific questions and demands on grievance procedure, accommodation, conflict screening, and file handling, attached to the cure letter.

A formal letter asked the General Counsel to cure documented Title II defects within a stated window. No cure issued.

A one-page letter, signed by a Deputy General Counsel, dismissed the grievance and stated no rebuttal was received. The Bar’s own intake had confirmed the rebuttal arrived.
