The Burton Blatt Institute partnered in the research and drafting of an Amicus Brief, which was filed in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on February 18, 2008. Amicus briefs are prepared by interested third parties to provide additional support to the court about a party’s contention. This Amicus Brief was filed on behalf of The Arc of the United States, The National Disability Rights Network, Advocacy, Inc. (Austin, TX), The Advocacy Center (Berkeley, CA), The Mississippi Protection & Advocacy System, Inc., The Burton Blatt Institute at Syracuse University, and The Disability Law Clinic at the Indiana University School of Law (Bloomington).
