Disability Law

Disability Law Synopsis

This casebook covers disability discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act and special education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. It includes statutory text and court decisions in the areas of employment, government services, public accommodations, and education. This second edition includes several new cases, and like the first edition, incorporates a substantial number of cases decided after the enactment of the ADA Amendments Act. This casebook has a greater focus on employment issues than other casebooks and could support either a stand-alone disability discrimination in employment course or a broad-based disability law course. Each chapter contains streamlined notes and questions designed to provoke thoughtful class discussion. This second edition includes several updates regarding how the Covid-19 pandemic affects disability law.
