Abstract: Atlanta Legal Aid has provided free legal aid in Atlanta since 1924, focusing on special populations. This collection documents their work on the Supreme Court Case Olmstead v. L.C., which held that the ADA protects those with disabilities to recieve services in integrated communities instead of being confined to state institutions.

Collection Description

Historical Note

Atlanta Legal Aid Society has provided low-income people with free civil legal aid in Atlanta since 1924. Their focus is on working with special populations, such as veterans, caregivers, seniors, and those with disabilities.

Olmstead v. L.C. was a landmark 1999 disability rights case before the United States Supreme Court. The case was filed on behalf of Lois Curtis and Elaine Wilson, two women with mental disabilities who had been confined to state institutions in Georgia. Sue Jamison, lead attorney on the case, argued that under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Curtis and Wilson had the right to live in the community while receiving services instead of segregated within the state's hospital system.

The Supreme Court held that the ADA did protect Curtis and Wilson's right to live within the community and ordered the state to provide services to people with disabilities in the most integrated setting that was appropriate. The Court also held that if a person wanteds to live in a community and can benefit from services in an integrated setting, it is discriminatory to confine them to an institution.
