Today’s blog entry deals with the question of whether title I of the ADA applies to foreign flagged cruise ships. We know that under this case, Spector v. Norwegian Cruise Lines, title III of the ADA applies to foreign flagged cruise ships under some circumstances. However, this is a title I case. It’s a

EEOC and Covid-19: Part IV
By William Goren on
I have talked about the EEOC and Covid-19 guidelines that have been coming out from time to time before here, here, and here. On June 11, the EEOC came out with some more questions. Assuredly, my fellow employment law bloggers-such as Robin Shea, Eric Meyer, and Jon Hyman will probably have something…
Issues, Statistics, and Thoughts
By William Goren on
I thought I would do a different kind of blog entry this week. Last week, I attended a zoominar (should I trademark “zoominar?”:-), on issues facing persons with disabilities in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was put on by Steve Gordon an Assistant Attorney General in the Eastern District of Virginia. I was very…

Before moving on to today’s blog entry, I want to point out an excellent blog entry from my friend, colleague, and fellow blogger, Robin Shea. Last week, she blogged on the situation of what can happen when you have an incomprehensible drug policy that nobody understands that is not applied effectively. In short, it creates…
ADA and Face Masks
By William Goren on
One may wonder how I go about deciding what cases to blog on from week to week. Well, I look in a variety of places: fellow legal bloggers; a Google alert set to the ADA; LinkedIn, Lexblog, and law 360. I subscribe to Law 360 and it is worth every penny. I am able to…
EEOC and Covid-19 Part III
By William Goren on
As everyone knows, I rarely post to blog entries in a week. However, there are exceptions. The EEOC has updated their guidance on the pandemic twice since we last wrote, including yesterday. So, I thought it would be a good time to go over the paragraphs of the EEOC guidance that we have yet to…
After Acquired Evidence and the ADA
By William Goren on
Posted in ADA, Federal Cases, Final Federal Regulations, Rehabilitation Act, Title I, Title II, Title III
Today’s blog entry is a topic that I have never discussed before. Since December 2011, my records show that I have put up 408 blog entries. In not one of them, have I discussed today’s entry. Today’s entry discusses the doctrine of after-acquired evidence and how it works with title I and logically, to a…
EEOC and Covid-19 Part II
By William Goren on
On April 9, 2020, the EEOC updated its March 17, 2020, what you should know about Covid-19 and the ADA, Rehabilitation Act, and other EEO laws document. I thought it would be a good idea to list the additions below and then discuss a bit. I’m only focusing on the additions since I covered the

Just where are ESA and service animals allowed on college and university campuses? The true false Analysis
By William Goren on
I am a little bit late with an entry this week. However, I have a good excuse. My 14-year-old daughter went off to overnight camp for the first time. She will be gone 4 weeks! That leaves my wife and I empty nesters. This is going to take some getting used to.
The blog entry…
Regarded As: What Not to Do
By William Goren on
Hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day.
Today’s blog entry is a case that I’ve had in my pipeline for quite a long time. I actually know the plaintiff’s attorney on the case, Cheryl Lagare of Lagare, Attwood & Wolfe. We have spoken a few times, and she is a fabulous CLE speaker. When this…
