State Efforts to Rein In ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Lawsuits

Labor & Employment Law Practice Group Teleforum

July 26th will mark the 26th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.  Enacted in 1990 to prohibit discrimination of the disabled and provide disability access to public accommodations nationwide, it has also been used throughout the years as the basis for thousands of lawsuits across the country.  These lawsuits can sometimes result in financial windfalls for trial attorneys with little to no impact on improving access for the disabled community.  Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich will discuss the strategies his office has employed to ensure this important law is used properly.

Featuring:

  • Hon. Mark Brnovich, Arizona Attorney General
