Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Article Review
Ensuring a sports facility is compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requires consideration of many elements; it begins in the design process and continues for the life of the facility. For this assignment, you will research four separate ADA-related lawsuits against sports facilities in the United States since the year 2010. You may not use any cases referenced in the textbook. For each lawsuit, you will write two paragraphs briefly describing the lawsuit and the required information about each lawsuit listed in Step 3 below. Then, you will organize the paragraphs into a two-page paper. You will be required to supplement your writing with the citations from articles you locate in the scholarly databases from the online library.
Steps for completing the assignment are as follows:
Use the scholarly databases to identify four ADA-related lawsuits against sports facilities.
Write two paragraphs summarizing each lawsuit. Each paragraph must contain at least three sentences. Include the below items in the content:
a brief description of the lawsuit,
the names of the plaintiffs and defendants,
a description of the central issue of the lawsuit,
a description of the outcome of the lawsuit, and
how the facility could have been built to be compliant with the ADA to avoid the lawsuit.
Organize your paragraphs into a two-page paper, and include a conclusion section in which you describe the key takeaways from your research of these lawsuits.
Submit your paper according to the information provided below.
Paper requirements are as follows:
Write at least two double-spaced pages.
Address the topic of the paper using critical thought. The required information listed above should clearly stand out and be unambiguous. Otherwise, it will be determined to be missing.
Include a reference page as a new page following your paper’s conclusion. Ensure that this page is completed and formatted according to the correct APA Style.
Avoid the serious consequence of plagiarism by using your own words and including citations for sources you used.
As with all assignments, non-scholarly sources such as Wikipedia and About.com may not be cited in your work.
Each case should be presented in the following manner:
Lawsuit: [Plaintiff v. Defendant]
Lawsuit: [Plaintiff v. Defendant]
Lawsuit: [Plaintiff v. Defendant]
Lawsuit: [Plaintiff v. Defendant]
