    Elisa Hyman (Speaker)

    Since 1998, Ms. Hyman (she/her) has been representing individual parents and students in impartial hearings, administrative appeals, federal civil actions, as well as class actions and impact litigation. She is currently president of The Law Office of Elisa Hyman, P.C. (the ?LOEH?), a private, public-interest law firm providing representation in education law, disability discrimination and civil rights cases involving public education. With a team of experienced attorneys and paralegals, the LOEH primarily focuses on providing legal representation to families who cannot otherwise afford education legal services or for whom paying an out-of- pocket retainer would be a hardship. In 2007, Ms. Hyman and the LOEH joined Friedman & Moses, LLP as Of Counsel and she founded the Special Education Law Group. In 2016, the Special Education law practice moved to the LOEH and it became a free-standing firm. In addition, between 2007-2009, Ms. Hyman provided education policy consulting services to organizations, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute at Harvard. Between 1998 and 2007, Ms. Hyman spent more than eight years at Advocates for Children of New York (AFC), first as the organization's Deputy Director (1998-2006) and then as the transitional Executive Director (2006-2007). Before joining AFC, Ms. Hyman was Assistant General Counsel at Safe Horizon, where she focused on domestic violence and crime victim policy. Prior to starting a public interest law career, Ms. Hyman was a litigation associate at White & Case (1991-1996). Ms. Hyman has her J.D. from Duke Law School and a M.A. in Economics from Duke University. Contact: www.specialedlawyer.com
