Theses and Major Papers
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 adds a new dimension to the body of anti discrimination law in the United States.

Through examination of the Act's salient features and potential application to commercial vessel operation, manning, and construction, it is concluded that the Act's goals may be substantially achieved without additional risk or significant financial harm to shipowners.
