Part 1

What if one person’s right to practice religion conflicts with another person’s right to be free from the influence of religious practice? What are some practical rules that can be set regarding religious observations in the workplace? How can we accommodate religious practices that require certain time off, religious garb, or even facial hair?

Part 2

On September 25, 2008, President Bush signed the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA) into law, overturning a series of decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and expanding the scope of medical conditions protected by the law. The ADAAA clarified that a plaintiff is regarded as having an impairment if she or he can demonstrate that “he or she has been subjected to an action prohibited under [the ADA] because of an actual or perceived physical or mental impairment, whether or not the impairment limits or is perceived to limit a major life activity.”

In 2016, the Tenth Circuit affirmed that “to establish a prima facie case of discrimination under the ADAAA, a plaintiff must show that (1) he is disabled as defined under the ADAAA; (2) he is qualified, with or without reasonable accommodation by the employer, to perform the essential functions of the job; and (3) he was discriminated against because of his disability.”

What do these changes mean for employers and employees in conjunction with protection against discrimination based on disability in the workplace? What will employers need to do to comply?

Part 3

This assignment will consist of an APA format paper. Maximum 5 pages.

Case Analysis Paper: Each student will choose five cases, each from a different chapter, from the readings in Weeks 1 through 3 (Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9). The paper should be divided into sections where each case is under a heading with the case name and page number on it. A common reference page will be used for all five cases.

• Case: (Identify the name of the case and page number in the textbook.)
• Parties: (Identify the plaintiff and the defendant.)
• Facts: (Summarize only those facts critical to the outcome of the case.)
• Issue: (Note the central question or questions on which the case turns.)
• Applicable Law(s): (Identify the applicable laws.) Use the textbook here by using citations. The law should come from the same chapter as the case. Be sure to use citations from the textbook including page numbers.
• Holding: (How did the court resolve the issue(s)? Who won?)
• Reasoning: (Explain the logic that supported the court’s decision.)
• Case Questions: (Explain the logic that supported the court’s decision.) Dedicate one subheading to each of the case questions immediately following the case. First, fully state the question from the book and then fully answer.
• Conclusion: (This should summarize the key aspects of the decision and also your recommendations on the court’s ruling.)
• Include citations and a reference page with your sources for all of the cases. Use APA-style citations with page numbers and references.
