Why It Matters
Your website should work for everyone. For state and local governments, the Department of Justice’s 2024 rule establishes web accessibility requirements based on WCAG 2.1 Level AA. For businesses and organizations, accessibility helps more people use your services and reduces avoidable barriers.

Accessibility Doesn’t Stop at Launch
A website can become less accessible as new pages, images, forms, and documents are added. Ongoing monitoring helps catch those issues early and keeps your site moving in the right direction.
The Real FAQ's
The DOJ’s ADA Title II rule requires every Clerk of Court website and mobile app to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards. Clerks serving 50,000 or more residents must comply by April 26, 2027. Smaller jurisdictions and special districts must comply by April 26, 2028.
Usually, yes. Most Clerk of Court websites run on outdated platforms that weren’t built for WCAG 2.1 AA. A rebuild is the cleaner, safer, and more cost-effective path, because ADA compliance is built in from the ground up instead of patched on.
