David Ferleger: Two Undecided Questions on Community Services

David Ferleger, J.D. of Philadelphia, PA, has a national law and consulting practice, specializing in public interest, civil rights and disability law. This interview was conducted April 6, 2011,
"There are a couple of questions undecided in any final way in the courts around community placement. Does the right to community services protect people who are not institutionalized, or are not yet institutionalized? How does the right to community services protect people, if at all, who were voluntarily institutionalized, as opposed to being committed by a court?"
