This book was released on 2006 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, written from the perspective of a lawyer with a disability (the author is hearing impaired), demonstrates that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is not just a law, but a way of life. It also discusses preventive lawyering with regards to the ADA. Since the first edition was published, the U.S. Supreme Court has decided over a dozen cases on the ADA and there have also been many appellate decisions as well. In this second edition, the Supreme Court decisions not included in the first edition and some of the appellate opinions that have come down since then are analyzed to provide the reader with an understanding of the workings of the ADA as it exists today.

This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject American Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,4, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: This paper explores the role of the U.S. Supreme Court in national policy-making, particularly focusing on disability rights as shaped by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. It analyzes the Court's influence through the lens of the policy cycle, emphasizing the stages of agenda-setting and policy implementation. The paper concludes that the Supreme Court has significantly impacted the interpretation and application of the ADA, often narrowing the definition of "disability" and influencing legislative amendments such as the ADA Amendments Act of 2008. The Court's decisions reflect its role in shaping national policy beyond mere judicial review, highlighting its active involvement in defining disability rights in the United States. First, the commonly applied concept of the policy cycle is introduced which divides the policy process into five phases. Second, the paper presents a concise overview of Dahl’s research regarding the U.S. Supreme Court as being an actor in national policy-making. The author’s research is focused on as it belongs to the pioneering works in this field and looks beyond the Court’s right of judicial review which clearly enables the judiciary to overturn congressional acts by Constitution. Third, the legislative summary of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 points out the act’s strengths and weaknesses. The latter building the basis for several lawsuits following the ADA’s adoption. Fourth, the role of the Supreme Court in the policy making process of the ADA is examined more thoroughly. It remains to be examined how actively the Supreme Court affected the main piece of legislation dealing with disability rights. Last, the conclusion summarizes the arguments made and provides a condensed answer to the research question of this paper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 was intended to send a clear message to society that discrimination on the basis of disability is unacceptable. As with most civil rights laws, the courts were given primary responsibility for implementing disability rights policy.Mezey argues that the act has not fulfilled its potential primarily because of the judiciary's "disabling interpretations" in adjudicating ADA claims. In the decade of litigation following the enactment of the ADA, judicial interpretation of the law has largely constricted the parameters of disability rights and excluded large numbers of claimants from the reach of the law. The Supreme Court has not interpreted the act broadly, as was intended by Congress, and this method of decision making was for the most part mirrored by the courts below. The high court's rulings to expand state sovereign immunity and insulate states from liability in damage suits has also caused claimants to become enmeshed in litigation and has encouraged defendants to challenge other laws affecting disability rights. Despite the law's strong civil rights rhetoric, disability rights remain an imperfectly realized goal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of disability in America will depend on how well the U.S. prepares for and manages the demographic, fiscal, and technological developments that will unfold during the next two to three decades. Building upon two prior studies from the Institute of Medicine (the 1991 Institute of Medicine's report Disability in America and the 1997 report Enabling America), The Future of Disability in America examines both progress and concerns about continuing barriers that limit the independence, productivity, and participation in community life of people with disabilities. This book offers a comprehensive look at a wide range of issues, including the prevalence of disability across the lifespan; disability trends the role of assistive technology; barriers posed by health care and other facilities with inaccessible buildings, equipment, and information formats; the needs of young people moving from pediatric to adult health care and of adults experiencing premature aging and secondary health problems; selected issues in health care financing (e.g., risk adjusting payments to health plans, coverage of assistive technology); and the organizing and financing of disability-related research. The Future of Disability in America is an assessment of both principles and scientific evidence for disability policies and services. This book's recommendations propose steps to eliminate barriers and strengthen the evidence base for future public and private actions to reduce the impact of disability on individuals, families, and society.
