Litigation Guidelines

For a case to be accepted for litigation, consideration should also be given to the following criteria:

  • The case resolution is likely to benefit other people with disabilities by changing a policy, practice, law or physical environment.
  • The case involves a fundamental right under the state or federal Constitution or statute.
  • The case is likely to enhance public understanding and support of the rights of people with disabilities.
  • The case involves a challenge to Equip for Equality's statutory P&A Access Authority (i.e. any attempt to limit Equip for Equality's statutory access to individuals, records or facilities as mandated by federal or state law).
