In April 2021, the Syracuse Law Review convened a Symposium to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the ADA. Several disability practitioners and professors presented papers and prepared articles for a special volume of the Review. CPR’s Legal Director, Steven Schwartz, and Managing Attorney, Kathryn Rucker, authored a seminal article on class certification under the ADA titled: The Commonality of Difference: A Framework for Obtaining Class Certification in ADA Cases After Wal-Mart. The article includes a discussion of most ADA class certification decisions and some strategic suggestions on certifying Olmstead classes.
The other articles in the special volume include:
