In this new episode of “Justice At Work”, Partner Kathy Harrington Sullivan is joined by Adian Miller to discuss the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) during the Covid-19 pandemic. The ADA became law in 1990 and is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public.
