Court Rules for Clinic in Disability Case (The Guardian, April 22)
Thousands of small companies could avoid a law requiring special accommodations for disabled workers under a ruling Tuesday by the Supreme Court. In a 7-2 decision, the court ruled against a disabled woman who contended a small company's partners and shareholders should be counted as employees. The decision mainly affects professional service companies like law firms, medical practices and accounting offices, though advocates for the disabled were split on the likely impact. "It's unfortunate that the court has taken a miserly reading of this broad civil rights law," said PETER BLANCK, a University of Iowa law professor specializing in the disabilities law. "Companies will think twice about whether or not they have to make an ADA accommodation."
