Event Details

Danny Adelman is the director of the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest. The Center for Law has been working on education funding issues on a pro bono basis for over 30 years. Danny has been a leader of the team suing the state for failing to adequately fund the capital needs of public schools in Glendale Elementary School District v. State of Arizona. Danny will talk to us about this case, which has been going on for more than seven years. Danny will discuss progress that has been made since they filed the suit, and the massive problems that still exist, including when the School Facilities Division runs out of money every year. Danny will discuss the trial that took place in May and June (featuring testimony from many of ARSA's members), and the final steps in the case, which will wrap up in the next couple of months.

    Danny Adelman became Executive Director of the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest in February 2018. Before becoming Executive Director, Danny served on the Center’s board of directors for more than 20 years, including a multi-year term as president. Danny brings extensive experience as a litigator to his role as Executive Director. Throughout his years in private practice, Danny focused on seeking justice for individuals. Now that he has transitioned to the Center, he can advocate for entire groups of Arizonans who otherwise would have no voice.

    Danny continues to build on the amazing work the Center has done for more than 40 years. During this time, the Center has won major victories for Arizonans in the areas of education, healthcare, environmental protection, consumer rights, and protecting voters’ rights.

    Danny received his undergraduate degree from the University of Arizona, and his law degree from the Arizona State University College of Law, where he also served as editor-in-chief of the Law Journal. He has received numerous awards and recognition as one of the finest attorneys in Arizona.
