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
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
Medical Licensing Boards, Physician Health Programs, and the Lack of ADA Compliance: an Opportunity for Plaintiff Lawyers
Before getting started on the blog of the week, some housekeeping matters. First, my blog was late this week. My daughter came home from camp on Monday, and so my time is different than it usually is. Second, starting tomorrow, my family will be in Chicago visiting both sides of the family. So,

Transgender: Equal Protection, Due Process, and ADA

Just where are ESA and service animals allowed on college and university campuses? The true false Analysis
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.

Animals at Home and on Planes: The Oklahoma and DOT Views

818181
In law school, there is a saying that a student goes in with common sense and comes out with common law. However, there is still room for common sense in the law. Today’s blog entry is actually a two-for-one: service dogs with respect to title II and title III, and essential eligibility
Can DOJ Enforce Title II of the ADA Redux
Previously, we discussed in this blog entry a case out of the Southern District of Florida holding that DOJ had no authority to enforce on its own title II of the ADA. That decision laid out the case against DOJ having independent title II enforcement. However, I thought it would be interesting to discuss
Litigation over commas: How far Does Title II Extend?
My colleague, Jon Hyman, has previously written about what can happen when commas are not used when they should be. You can find that blog entry here. Today’s blog entry raises the question as to what happens when a comma is used when perhaps it shouldn’t have been. The case is Haberle v.
