Disability Civil Rights Law And Policy (Hornbook)

The book examines the basis of discrimination against people with disabilities, including the history of such discrimination and a review of studies that explore why people engage in this sort of discrimination. It examines the federal laws that culminated in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The book describes the ADA’s definition of disability, how it has been interpreted and studied, and then reviews the three major titles of the ADA, including a review of the remedies available for various ADA claims and the procedures required to pursue them.

First of all, I'm not just saying this because I have this particular book for sale on (please buy it!). This book is awesome. We used the Colker text book which I found to be...obnoxiously poorly edited. So, I bought this book hoping it would help (and because our prof recommended it). Turns out this book should be the textbook for the class. It's clear, it gets to the point, and it gives you everything you need for finals. In my finals prep, I ditched our casebook and relied almost entirely on this (and a bit on my notes). I got a great grade, which would not have happened if it were not for this hornbook.

Great assist for a course about this topic.
