Presents:
Disability, Accessibility, and Liability; Who's Responsible for ADA and FHA Compliance?
Are you looking for a program to meet the California Architects Board ADA course requirement? AIAOC is offering you an opportunity to earn 1 qualifying unit for license renewal.
This presentation was prepared to provide an analysis of the August 2012 decision by the Nevada Supreme Court that the Americans with Disabilities Act was enacted to remedy discrimination against disabled individuals and to prevent discrimination. Participants will have a better understanding of the roles of various parties to a project in determining and achieving ADA compliance; learn to consider the dissemination of information during a project and the decision-making process that flows from that; evaluate contractual allocations of this responsibility and review recent court decisions that underscore the importance of this process.

She has an extremely loyal client base due to her reputation for being an aggressive, hands-on litigator, who balances the unique demands of each client and each case. Jean has focused her practice on complex civil litigation, including construction business/contracts, high exposure personal injury, governmental torts and coverage, as well as business-related civil litigation. Jean has worked in literally every aspect of construction litigation, dealing closely with clients and insurance carrier representatives. She is highly regarded for her seminars on the subject of risk management, which she conducts across the country. Jean has also successfully argued three matters before the Nevada Supreme Court. The first involved Nevada's adoption of the economic loss doctrine. The second involved Nevada's strict enforcement of the certificate of merit statute protecting design professionals. The third involved Nevada's adoption of the doctrine obstacle preemption, which bars owners' claims for indemnity for ADA and FHA violations.
