In Meyer v. Nebraska, 262 U.S. 390 (1923),
the Supreme Court recognized that the concept of liberty protected by the
Fourteenth Amendment encompasses the opportunity to pursue one’s occupation of
choice and enjoy all rights protected by the common law. This program will address how the Americans
with Disabilities Act has furthered this concept of liberty and the areas in
which it has the potential to further protect people with disabilities. It will include, inter alia, discussion on the law’s impact on the professional
licensing of individuals with mental illness and how advocates can use the ADA
to further decision-making capacity of those individuals whom the law would
otherwise subject to guardianship.
