Equal Rights for the Mentally Disabled in our Courtrooms

Please Make it Mandatory to Appoint Legal Counsel in all courts including traffic for the Mentally Disabled. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, a Federal Act already supports this, but the courts chose to ignore this needed Accommodation.

Why is this important?

It is shocking that in the year 2012 our court system across the nation discriminates against the mentally disabled. The Americans with disabilities Act of 1990 clearly states that all public and private entities have a DUTY to grant Reasonable Accommodations for the disabled. The physically disabled are accommodated as SOP while the mentally disabled are ignored. The only useful accommodation in the courts would be Mandatory Appointment of Counsel!
