American with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Assembled by Carter McNamara, MBA, PhD

This section of the library provides miscellaneous information which may be helpful as an overview of various aspects of business law in the United States of America. Businesses designing personnel policies should obtain advice from an attorney specializing in the area of employee laws. Businesses requiring legal advice regarding potential or current litigation should seek counsel from an attorney.

Note that employees laws apply the same to for-profit and nonprofit organizations.
