Arguing Disability Under the ADA Amendments Act: Where Do We Stand?

Excerpt from: FedBar Magazine (click for full article)

 

The ADAAA remains on shaky ground four years after it was signed into law. The positive changes made by the law are often ignored and many of the new terms are misread or applied incorrectly. The good news is that these problems are readily fixable through education and outreach. As more attorneys and courts become familiar with the changes made by the Amendments and the EEOC regulation, we should see the errors in legal reasoning and pleading decrease. Hopefully, in another four years, we will be able to say that the ADAAA is a great success.
