The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law prohibiting discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities. As defined by the statute, a person with a disability is one who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity. The ADA also protects people who have a history of such an impairment, or who are regarded as having such an impairment.
The New York State Unified Court System is committed to fully complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act by providing services, programs and activities in a way that assures equal and full accessibility for all court users.
For more information about the ADA and the courts, please see our Reasonable Accommodations for Court Users and ADA Accommodation Request Process.
