Description
The U.S. Supreme Court has handed disability rights advocates a victory, though a more limited one than they had sought. The high court on May 17 ruled that states could be sued under the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act for failing to provide access to courthouses. But it stopped short of allowing suits against all types of state buildings.
