ADA Access Journal

May 13, 2026. Twelve hours. That is all it took for the State Bar of Georgia to prove, on its own, why I had been begging for one point of contact. It started at 7:34 a.m., when Deputy General Counsel William D. NeSmith III pulled the meeting he had offered the day before. “The 11:30…
