      "title": "University of Alabama v. Garrett: Federalism Limits on the Americans with Disabilities Act",
      "summary": "On Feb. 21, 2001, the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision, held that the Eleventh Amendment bars\nsuits to recover monetary damages by state employees under title I of the Americans with Disabilities\nAct (ADA). Although the ruling is narrowly focused concerning the ADA, it has broad implications\nregarding federal-state power and emphasizes the difficulty of drafting federal legislation under\nsection 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment that will withstand Eleventh Amendment scrutiny. This\nreport will briefly discuss  Garrett  and its implications for the ADA, federalism and\ncongressional\npower. For more detailed information on the ADA see  CRS Report 98-921 ,  The Americans\nwith\nDisabilities Act (ADA): Statutory Language and Recent Issues . This report will not be\nupdated.",
