FEDS LOOK INTO JUDICIAL BRANCH ADA COMPLIANCE!

Jay Stapleton of the CT Law Tribune reports the following:

 

"Federal authorities are reviewing the Connecticut Judicial Branch's compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act, prompted by complaints it has received from two women who claim they were not provided with equal access to the courts as required under the ADA.

 

The Connecticut U.S. Attorney's Office acknowledged it has launched a review, which will look at all aspects of the state court system.

 

"This review will examine ADA complaints that the Judicial Branch has received, the responses, and the accommodation process. It will also examine the training that the judges and support staff receive regarding the ADA," John B. Hughes, an assistant U.S. attorney and chief of the Connecticut office's Civil Division, wrote in a letter to one of the women who brought complaints."
