The Applicability Of The Ada To Private Internet Web Sites, Carrie L. Kiedrowski
Cleveland State Law Review
This article proposes that private commercial web sites are considered places of public accommodation; consequently, private Internet web sites must be accessible to people with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Additionally, Part II describes recent federal actions mandating accessibility of government related web sites.

The Durable Power Of Attorney's Place In The Family Of Fiduciary Relationships, Karen E. Boxx
The Durable Power Of Attorney's Place In The Family Of Fiduciary Relationships, Karen E. Boxx
Articles
The durable power of attorney is a deceptively simple document that allows one person to handle the affairs of an incapacitated person without court supervision. It is merely an agency relationship, established by a written document, that continues during the principal's incapacity. The durable power of attorney has been in widespread use only for about twenty-five years. It is very easy to draft, and its use escapes most court proceedings or even much need for legal assistance.
The durable power of attorney has therefore kept a low profile until now, and any attention it is now receiving focuses primarily on …

Giving New Meaning To "Handicap": The Americans With Disabilities Act And Its Uneasy Relationship With Professional Sports In Pga Tour, Inc. V. Martin, William E. Spruill
University of Richmond Law Review
Imagine that an all-star batter for the New York Yankees had a circulatory disease that made it difficult and painful for him to run. Would Major League Baseball be forced to permit a designated base runner to run for the disabled batter starting from home plate? Consider Jim Abbott, the successful major league pitcher who was born without a right arm. Under the Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA"), could Abbott, who pitched well for many years in the American League, which has the designated hitter rule, force the National League, which does not, to exempt him from its batting requirement? …

Forward To Fundamental Alteration: Addressing Ada Title Ii Integration Lawsuits After Olmstead V. L. C, Steve Calandrillo, Jefferson D.E. Smith
Articles
In 1999, the Supreme Court reviewed the case of Olmstead v. L.C. by Zimring, which has been called the Brown v. Board of Education for the law of disability discrimination. The Court ultimately agreed with the Department of Justice ("DOJ") and held that the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), along with its supplementary Integration Regulation, requires a State that offers treatment to persons with disabilities to provide such treatment in a community setting where such a placement would not be an unreasonable change or a fundamental alteration in the State's program. Advocates of community care have long argued that such …

The Employment Law Decisions Of The October 2000 Term Of The Supreme Court: A Review And Analysis, Ann C. Hodges, Douglas D. Scherer
Scholarly Works
During the October 2000 Term, the Supreme Court delivered major setbacks for employees in Circuit City Stores, Inc. v. Adams,' which upheld mandatory and binding arbitration of federal and state employment discrimination claims through arbitration clauses forced upon employees as a condition of employment, and in Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama v. Garrett, which shielded state employers from federal court law suits brought under the Americans with Disabilities Act by victims of disability discrimination in employment. Employees escaped harm in Pollard v. E.I du Pont de Nemours & Co., in which the Court followed nearly unanimous circuit …

Re-Interpreting The Effect Of Rights: Career Narratives And The Americans With Disabilities Act, David Engel, Frank W. Munger
Articles & Chapters
This article examines how the employment rights guaranteed by the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) affect the careers of individuals with disabilities. The
article draws on in-depth interviews with sixty adults who provided extended life
story narratives, describing early family and educational experiences and later
experiences with employment. Their detailed accounts offer insights into the
sometimes subtle role rights play in peoples lives and careers. Relatively few
rights violations actually lead to explicit or formal invocations of the law. The
effect of the ADA on careers can be profound but is primarily indirect or
symbolic. Moreover, other factors affect the …
