People with disabilities use service animals for a wide range of issues. Employers, employees, tenants, housing providers, property managers, customers, and businesses frequently have questions about their rights and responsibilities regarding service animals. Don’t miss this one-hour live webcast on June 10, 2015 that examines the civil rights laws regarding the use of service animals in housing, places of public accommodation, and employment. Disability law attorneys, employment law practitioners, and animal rights counsel with basic to intermediate practice experience who attend this online seminar will better understand: the different definitions of a service animal; the fair housing rights of people with disabilities as they relate to guide dogs, emotional support animals, and other assistance animals; what (if any) restrictions a housing provider may place on an assistance animal; the concept of reasonable accommodation under the ADA; the rights of employees and customers; the responsibilities of employers and business owners; and the legal limitations regarding permissible inquires and requests for documentation.

The program is presented by the ISBA Standing Committee on Disability Law and qualifies for 1.0 hour of MCLE credit.
