Implications of the ADA for State and Local Government: Judicial Activism Reincarnated

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) extends additional rights to 43 million disabled Americans. Ultimately the interpretation and enforcement of the ADA will fall under the jurisdiction of the courts. History has shown that in other areas of personnel such as affirmative action and pre-enployment testing, the courts have played a proactive, and oftentimes confusing role in providing guidance to line and staff managers. This paper discusses judicial intervention and provides guidance to state and local government managers who will be required to comply with the provisions of the ADA.
