NAD Says Banks Must Accept Relay Calls
The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) has received many complaints about banks that refuse to accept telephone calls made through relay services. When advocacy efforts do not result in appropriate policy changes, sometimes the only thing left to do is to file a lawsuit in court. In the case of banks not accepting relay calls, the NAD says, “enough is enough.” The NAD and Advocacy, Inc. filed a lawsuit on behalf of Amy Baxter against Wells Fargo.

NAD Supports Hard of Hearing Juror
On August 3, 2009, the NAD filed an amicus curiae “friend of the court” brief in the Supreme Court of Ohio. The brief was filed in response to a ruling by an Ohio Court of Appeals that overturned the conviction of a criminal defendant solely because one juror was hard of hearing.
