Abstract
The Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA) was intended to breathe new life into the ADA after the courts, especially the Supreme Court, drastically narrowed the ADA’s protected class. But since the ADA was amended in 2008, the Supreme Court has not decided any ADA cases. Thus, there are many ADA issues, especially in the employment context, that remain unresolved. This paper will attempt to determine whether we can expect a disability-friendly Supreme Court or whether the Court will once again narrowly construe individuals with disabilities’ rights under the ADA.
