The ADA Project
The Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) is a comprehensive civil rights law enacted in 1990 and amended by the ADA Amendments Act (“ADAAA”) in 2008. It prohibits discrimination based on disability in a broad range of areas, including employment, places of public accommodation, and government services.
The ADA Project is designed to provide information about important aspects of the ADA that may be helpful to people with disabilities, advocates, lawyers, and courts. It contains materials to facilitate successful claims of disability discrimination, analysis of the definition of disability, and information to stay up to date on emerging areas of the law. Finally, it serves as a public repository for legislative history materials related to the ADA and ADAAA.
