ADA Information

The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is a wide-ranging federal civil rights law intended to make American Society more accessible to people with disabilities. Disability is defined as "a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of an individual. The determination of whether any particular condition is considered a disability is made on a case by case basis.

If you have difficulty hearing in a court proceeding, tell the clerk and ask to use the assisted listening equipment available in the courtrooms.

If you have another disability that makes it difficult for you to observe or participate in court proceedings or use court services, contact the Access Coordinator for your court: Court Directory
