The Department of Justice (DOJ) has cleared up a gray area: the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) absolutely applies to websites. The DOJ is making web accessibility an enforcement priority.

 

What is the reasoning for this latest announcement? How will it inform case law, and what can you do to minimize your legal risk?

 

Join this webcast on Global Accessibility Awareness Day to understand the DOJ’s recent guidance on ADA digital compliance. You will learn about:

  • The DOJ’s guidance details: why a renewed priority, why now, and what it means.

  • Public pressure, enforcement history, current case law, and how we got here.

  • The impact on the legal landscape and the volume of legal complaints.

  • The good and bad of ambiguity, and the 6 issues to correct today.
