Civil Rights Law means someone is being discriminated against and is not able to enjoy the amenities of life that other people enjoy. Therefore, in the legal process their civil rights have been violated. Congress has said this is wrong and needs to be corrected. The wronged are given direct access to the Federal Courts, where the court fees are waived and given an attorney at no cost for the filing of the compliant, including their time.
In our country, we have two court systems: one Civil Courts and the other Federal Courts. They are very different in that the Civil Courts are more political and the judges' ruling is only applciable to that one case; where as in the Federal Courts they are less political and the judges' ruling not only is applicable to that case but every like case throughout the United States.
The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil right law and the ACCESS Wheelchair Watchdog program uses the Federal Courts.
