ACCESS
"The Judicial Branch will provide
equal access to all of its facilities, processes and information
through the identification and elimination of barriers.”
-- Outcome Goal One of the
Strategic Plan of the
Connecticut
Judicial Branch, Public Service and Trust Commission
The Judicial Branch
is committed to providing the public with equal access to its
facilities, proceedings, programs and materials, consistent with the
Americans with Disabilities Act , or the ADA. The ADA is a
federal civil rights law that requires that people with disabilities
be given equal access to public accommodations and transportation,
jobs and government services, among other things.
Title II of the ADA
requires public entities, such as the
Connecticut Judicial Branch, to accommodate individuals with
disabilities by providing equal access to their services, programs
and activities.
In compliance with
the ADA, the Judicial Branch will make reasonable accommodations for
people with disabilities when requested to do so. These
accommodations may include providing
equipment and services such as assistive listening devices, sign
language interpreters or printed material in alternate formats.
In order to best
serve the public, the Judicial Branch has, at each of its
facilities, a
contact person who can assist individuals with disabilities by
answering specific questions about access to services and by
processing requests for accommodations.
