John B. Roesler specializes in ADA and Section 504 protections of persons with disabilities in various settings, including Education, Employment and Prison/Correctional Facilities.
In the School context, his ADA practice encompasses each educational level, including:
- Public Schools,
- Private Schools
- Primary Level,
- Secondary Level,
- Higher Education,
- College,
- University, and
- Professional Schools.
The category of Professional Schools includes Medical Schools and Medical Students. There has been and continues to be a great deal of ADA litigation in the federal courts involving Medical Schools and Medical Students. Mr. Roesler recently fought an ADA case against the University of Colorado Medical School all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Regarding primary and secondary public school education, Mr. Roesler is a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminar presenter to other Colorado attorneys on the subject of the IDEA and Alternative Court Remedies, such as direct ADA, Section 504 or Section 1983 court action in federal court (see Denver Education Attorney section).
In the Prisoner Rights context, Mr. Roesler just completed a considerable piece of AD federal court litigation against the Colorado Department of Corrections (DOC) for its refusal to make reasonable accommodations in its treatment of a sex offender inmate with mental impairments.
It is noted that intentional discrimination can be shown in ADA and Section 504 cases by failure to make a reasonable accommodation. Whether an accommodation is reasonable becomes a key issue to prove through the use of an expert witness. Mr. Roesler has extensive experience working with the medical profession and forensic Ph.D. psychologists in establishing disability and psychological harm.
