Mediating disability employment discrimination claims
Article Abstract:
Mediation is an ADR technique which can be used instead of filing a claim under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). ADA represents a social justice milestone but has increased the nation's courts' case load. As a voluntary process by which a neutral third party negotiates a solution to a dispute, mediation is less expensive than litigation and may be more effective for claims involving disabled workers.
