This is meant to be a collection of different information points on legal subjects such as Sec.508 and DDA.
I will also try to break them into areas where needed. However web design is international, so even tho you may be a US American, does not mean you will never have a British client so you should be aware of British law, so the DDA.
Should anyone find good references other than mine please let me know so I can add them here.
