THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal civil rights statute that requires all state and local governmental entities, including the courts, to accommodate the needs of persons with disabilities who have an interest in court services, programs, and activities. The Superior Court does not discriminate on the basis of disability in employment or in the admission and access to its services, programs, or activities. The Court has designated an ADA Coordinator and ADA Liaisons at each Courthouse to ensure that facility's compliance with the requirements of the ADA.
AVAILABLE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
The Court has several services and technologies available to make Court services, programs, and activities accessible to as many people as possible. If you have questions about accommodations that may be available, please contact the Courthouse’s ADA Liaison (ADAInformation@OCcourts.org or the Court’s ADA Coordinator at (657) 622-7769. The ADA does not provide to individuals with disabilities personal devices, such as wheelchairs; individually prescribed devices, such as prescription eyeglasses or hearing aids; readers for personal use or study; or services of a personal nature including assistance in eating, toileting, or dressing.
COURTHOUSE EVACUATION PROTOCOL FOR PERSONS WITH ACCESS OR FUNCTIONAL NEEDS
Any member of the public with access or functional needs who is requesting assistance during an evacuation should flag down the first available Orange County Sheriff Department (OCSD) staff member, or request a court staff member contact OCSD.
