Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)


Justice System Journal Articles

NCSC’s Justice System Journal (JSJ) was first published by the Institute for Court Management in 1974 and is the only refereed, scholarly journal devoted to the topic of judicial administration, broadly understood.  JSJ tackles subjects of interest to practitioners and scholars alike, such as court security, court administration and management, problem-solving courts, state and federal appellate procedures, and judicial ethics.

Todd Lochner.  Legal Note: The Americans with Disabilities Act and Courthouse Access.  This paper addresses the issue of what measure courts must take to provide access to disabled citizens.  The author reviewes Tennessee v. Lane (2004), where the Supreme Court held that Congress legitimately enabled the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to create a cause of action against courts that fail to provide reasonable accommodations for disabled citizens.  (Vol. 26, No. 1)
