Controlled Impairments Under The Americans With Disabilities Act: A Search For The Meaning Of "Disability", Erica Worth Harris Jul 1998

Controlled Impairments Under The Americans With Disabilities Act: A Search For The Meaning Of "Disability", Erica Worth Harris

Washington Law Review

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination. Since its passage in 1991, the number of individuals seeking protection under the Act has steadily increased and the types of impairments claimed to qualify as disabilities have dramatically expanded.

This Article investigates the meaning of the term disability to define more clearly who should benefit under the Act. By focusing on controlled impairments, a group of disability claims that has produced a split …


A Proposed Conflict Of Interest Rule For Attorney-Mediators, Michelle D. Gaines Jul 1998

A Proposed Conflict Of Interest Rule For Attorney-Mediators, Michelle D. Gaines

Washington Law Review

Maintaining the success and fairness of mediation requires mediators to be impartial toward all parties and to protect the confidentiality of mediation sessions.

No More Messing Around: Substantive Due Process Challenges To State Laws Prohibiting Fornication, Traci Shallbetter Stratton

Washington Law Review

Anglo-American law has historically prohibited fornication, and through the 1960s fornication remained illegal in all but ten states. Few questioned the validity of laws proscribing various forms of private, adult, consensual sexual behavior until the early 1970s.

This Comment argues that laws prohibiting fornication do not violate substantive due …
