Five years after we sued Georgia’s supervision agency for failing to accommodate our clients’ disabilities, a settlement will ensure everyone has an equal chance to complete probation or parole.

The ³Ô¹ÏÖ±²¥ and ³Ô¹ÏÖ±²¥ of Georgia, along with the National Association of the Deaf and Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of deaf and hard of hearing individuals on probation and parole supervised by the Georgia Department of Community Supervision (GDCS). We also sought a preliminary injunction, directing GDCS to immediately provide American Sign Language interpreters, auxiliary aids and services, and reasonable modifications to deaf and hard of hearing individuals on probation or parole.
