## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Anti-Discrimination & Industrial Relations](https://ailawframework.com/practice/anti-discrimination-and-industrial-relations.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | From the documents the lawyer selects, list the complaint or the opposition, its date, who did it, and the later act, with its date and who did it. Do not state that the later act was because of the complaint, and do not write a charge. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide whether the statute is met, and you write any charge or letter. The tool writes none of it. No person shall discriminate against any individual because that individual has opposed any act or practice made unlawful by the Americans with Disabilities Act chapter, or because that individual made a charge, testified, assisted, or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under that chapter (42 U.S.C. § 12203(a)). Subsection (b) makes it unlawful to coerce, intimidate, threaten, or interfere with the exercise of a right granted or protected by the chapter. The remedies cross-refer to §§ 12117, 12133, and 12188. Those sections were not opened. What counts as discrimination under the chapter includes the employment practices in § 12112, which was opened. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the documents the lawyer selects, list the complaint or the opposition, its date, who did it, and the later act, with its date and who did it. Do not state that the later act was because of the complaint, and do not write a charge.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The timeline is not a finding on causation. The opened text states no burden of proof.
- A Title VII opposition clause was not used for this disability question.
