Nearing the fifteenth birthday of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), most commentators believe that its overall effects have been disappointing. By this point, there is a standard set of explanations for the ADA's failures: the Supreme Court's limiting decisions relating to the definition of disability, the limits of antidiscrimination law, and the economic failures of the accommodation mandate. This Article challenges the assumption, nearly universal until now, that these explanations and recommendations apply equally to the entire ADA. Through a first-ever quantitative analysis of Title II and III cases, this Article shows that these cases -- unlike title I cases -- fare relatively well in the courts compared with other civil rights statutes. This Article suggests that the maj...

Congress enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 in an attempt to provide comprehensive protection against discrimination for individuals with real or perceived disabilities. Although most circuits have not directly addressed this issue, the First Circuit and the Ninth Circuit have come to different conclusions, creating the "interacting with others divide." These two splits in authority impact a significant number of discrimination claims and have created considerable confusion in the employment arena. The Supreme Court should quickly act to resolve these disputes and should do so by looking to the plain language of the ADA, congressional intent, Supreme Court precedent, and explicit guidance from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The Americans with Disabilities Act turned 21 this week with various levels of success and failure.
