Product Description
There have been dramatic legal and policy developments, and strong academic and practical interest, in the area of American and international disability civil rights law. This casebook comprehensively examines the development of disability rights law and policy in the United States and abroad in a format for use as a law or graduate school teaching tool. It gives a complete and current treatment of the Americans with Disabilities Act, including the background of the statutes passage, definition of disability, discrimination in employment, public services, and public accommodations, as well as the statutes remedial structure. It includes sections on the background of the disability rights movement, international disability law, and discrimination in housing and education. The authors also discuss disability law and technology issues in depth, as well as disability-related social welfare and tax policy. The book offers ample opportunity for case analysis by! students, as well as providing thought-provoking discussion topics.

I love this book (compared to the text book for the class) May 20, 2008
First of all, I'm not just saying this because I have this particular book for sale on Amazon (please buy it!). This book is awesome. We used the Colker text book which I found to be...obnoxiously poorly edited. So, I bought this book hoping it would help (and because our prof recommended it). Turns out this book should be the textbook for the class. It's clear, it gets to the point, and it gives you everything you need for finals. In my finals prep, I ditched our casebook and relied almost entirely on this (and a bit on my notes). I got a great grade, which would not have happened if it were not for this hornbook.
