Olmstead v. L.C.
''Olmstead v. L.C.'', , is a United States Supreme Court case regarding discrimination against people with mental disabilities. The Supreme Court held that under the Americans with Disabilities Act, individuals with mental disabilities have the right to live in the community rather than in institutions if, in the words of the opinion of the Court, "the State's treatment professionals have determined that community placement is appropriate, the transfer from institutional care to a less restrictive setting is not opposed by the affected individual, and the placement can be reasonably accommodated, taking into account the resources available to the State and the needs of others with mental disabilities." 〔http://www.accessiblesociety.org/topics/ada/olmsteadoverview.htm〕 The case was brought by the Atlanta Legal Aid Society, Inc.
== Background ==
Tommy Olmstead, Commissioner, Georgia Department of Human Resources, et al. v. L. C., by Zimring, guardian ad litem and next friend, et al.〔() Syllabus and opinions of the Supreme Court regarding Olmstead〕 (Olmstead v. L.C.) was a case filed in 1995 and decided in 1999 before the United States Supreme Court. The plaintiffs, L.C. (Lois Curtis) and E.W. (Elaine Wilson, deceased December 4, 2005),〔() Atlanta Legal Aid Society〕 were two women who had diagnoses of mental retardation and schizophrenia, and mental retardation and personality disorder, respectively.〔() Robert “Bobby” Silverstein, J.D., Director, Center for the Study and Advancement of Disability Policy〕 They had both been treated in institutional settings and in community based treatments in the state of Georgia.
Following clinical assessments by state employees, both plaintiffs were determined to be better suited by treatment in a community based setting rather than in the institution. Both sued the state of Georgia to prevent them from being inappropriately treated and housed in the institutional setting.
