This review is from: Americans With Disabilities Act Handbook (Americans With Disabilities Act Handbook Base Volume) (Hardcover)

The Americans with Disabilities Act Handbook (Base Volume) has been helpful from the day it was delivered. It brings the ADA together with helpful commentary for the legal practitioner. In my new law practice, I have found the sample forms very helpful in preparing complaints on behalf of clients with disabilities. I would've given the handbook five stars if it had come with the updates as pitched. That is, the information provided on Amazon indicated that the base volume (2 hardcover books) would come with the semiannual updates since the base volume was published. Again, that was not the case. I was disappointed. Nevertheless, I still got a good deal.
