Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED 1. In light of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq., which mandate equal protection under the law and reasonable accommodations for disabilities, did the courts in Pennsylvania violate these principles by failing to provide necessary accommodations during judicial procedures for a petitioner with a disclosed and documented communication disability, thereby impeding her ability to participate meaningfully in the justice system? . 2. Considering the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which : safeguards the right to freedom of speech and petition the government for a redress of grievances, and Title 42, U.S.C. § 1983, which addresses the deprivation of constitutional rights under color of state law, did the Pennsylvania courts’ treatment of the petitioner’s efforts to seek protection from harassment by the accuser Ms. Jones as harassment against the accuser constitute a violation of the petitioner’s rights to free speech and petition?
