Which ADA title relates to enforcement and attorney's fees?

• A. Title I
• B. Title II
• C. Title III
• D. Title V

Answer: (D)

Enforcement mechanisms and the ability to recover attorney’s fees are set in the miscellaneous provisions of the ADA, which is Title V. This part of the law deals with general rules that apply across the act—how enforcement is carried out and how fees can be shifted to the losing side for those who prevail in a private action. The other titles address specific areas: Title I covers employment protections, Title II covers nondiscrimination by state and local governments, Title III covers public accommodations, and Title IV covers telecommunications. Those sections focus on the what and who of protections, while Title V provides the overarching enforcement framework and fee provisions.
