    Olmstead vs.. L.C is actually Olmstead vs. Lois Curtis and Elaine Wilson, two women held  by Olmstead in a state mental institution long after they were cited for release.

    Their names were taken from them by the agency "representing" them in their lawsuit -without their permission or want. It is an example of "restrictive" environment: Atlanta Legal Aid restricted them from name.

    Atlanta Legal Aid never corrected its error, nor acknowledged it. Unlike Rosa Parks their names will never enter legal education, or legal citations in other suits. They will remain abstracted to initials.
