In the rental of “housing accommodations”, guide, signal or service dogs required by blind or visually impaired, deaf or hard of hearing, or physically disabled tenants may not be prohibited, regardless of the landlord’s normal pet policies.

Through a program developed by the late Judge J. William McLafferty, the responsibility for conducting Mandatory Settlement Conferences has been delegated to senior attorneys experienced in their substantive areas of law as well as in Alternative Dispute Resolution processes such as Mediation.
