Join Kids With Food Allergies and the Allergy Law Project for our webinar, Current Topics in Food Allergy Law, on Tuesday, December 1, 2015 at 1 pm Eastern.

 

Attorney, author and food allergy advocate Laurel Francoeur, Esq. and fellow attorneys Mary Vargas, Esq. and Homa Woodrum, Esq., started Allergy Law Project in 2014. They wanted a blog with correct information about legal issues, food allergies and disabilities. All three are parents of children with food allergies.

 

The three lawyers will share their legal perspective about how life with food allergies affects:

  • Places of public accommodation
  • Restaurants and travel
  • Schools

 

We will record this webinar. If you cannot attend the live event, we will email you a link to the recording a few days after the event.

 

You may submit your questions in advance on the registration form.

 

By registering, you agree to receive email communications from Kids With Food Allergies.
