Cities and Counties: First Steps Toward Solving Common ADA Problems

Common Problems with Courtrooms

 Ø     Doors are too heavy to open.

 Ø     No assistive listening systems are provided for people who are hard of hearing.

 Ø     Fixed seats or benches for courtroom spectators are positioned to leave little room for people who use wheelchairs; wheelchair placement in aisles can violate fire codes.
 
 Ø     Jury toilet rooms are not accessible.

 Ø     Jury boxes and witness stands can only be accessed by climbing a step.
