A Supreme Court case was marked by intense exchanges, centering on a teenage girl's struggle against her Minnesota school over inadequate accommodations for her epilepsy. The girl's family argues lower courts have made it too hard to challenge schools on these grounds. Attorney Roman Martinez claimed the school district's shifting legal arguments could have catastrophic effects for disability rights, referencing a 'potential five-alarm fire' situation. The school district's lawyer insisted their arguments remained consistent even when challenged by skeptical justices. A decision is anticipated by June.
'This is a potential five-alarm fire for the disability-rights community,' argued Martinez, highlighting the serious implications of how courts adjudicate disability accommodation cases.
'We never said you should have a double regime,' asserted Blatt, defending the school district's stance against claims of inconsistency in their legal argument regarding disability standards.
