Braille Gift Cards and Title III
It is hard to write on anything that doesn’t have something to do with Covid-19. However, ADA jurisprudence continues and a lot of it happens outside of Covid-19. That said, expect a tremendous amount of issues stemming from Covid-19. We will certainly be following those issues closely. Today, we will be talking about a
EEOC and Covid-19 Part III
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
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.

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
Hope everyone had a happy Memorial Day weekend. I have mentioned from time to time that I use a service dog in the house. But what does he look like? The above picture is the answer. Say hello to Col. Johnny, a four-year-old miniature poodle.

Using Common Sense for Service Animals and Essential Eligibility Requirements
