The purpose of this Law of Disability Discrimination casebook is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the ADA, including the sections governing employment (Title I), public entities (Title II), and public accommodations (Title III). The book focuses on the major components of the ADA, with extensive reference to the implementing regulations and accompanying guidance statements - essential building blocks for a complete understanding of the Act. It also covers a wide range of additional topics, such as education, housing, insurance, and the protection of newborns with disabilities. Because the ADA intersects several other federal statutes, such as the IDEA, the FHAA, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, cross-references to these and other statutes are frequently provided.
This edition is both timely and comprehensive. It includes a new unit on the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, as well as the Supreme Court's decisions on the ADA from both the 2001-02 and 2002-03 terms. These decisions include:
