>> congratulations on passing the bar! I'm not what actual forms you're 
>> looking for but you may want to check out Martin Dean's publisher of 
>> California essential forms at www.essentialpublishers.com. I have met 
>> with the distributor at various trade shows through the California 
>> Association of Legal Document Assistants and I am told that the forms 
>> should work with screen reading software. He also told me of a client 
>> that uses them with dictation software as well. This is much less 
>> expensive than Legal Solutions and as that software is going away as we 
>> know it this is much more user friendly.

>>> Hello fello listers,
>>>
>>> first of all, I'm happy to report I passed the july 2009 california bar 
>>> examination on my first attempt. I managed to secure an electronic 
>>> version of the MBE's thanks to a pilot program run by the NCBE. I 
>>> understand a lawsuit has been filed on behalf of a blind law student to 
>>> make this accomidation available as a matter of law to qualified bar 
>>> candidates. I understand  the plaintiff is is being represented by a 
>>> fellow lister.Good luck, and please keep us updated as to developments 
>>> in this case.
>>>
>>> On the subject of air travel, I recall there being an extensive document 
>>> posted not too long ago on this list which contained precisely the type 
>>> of information that was the subject of Mr. Weisberg's original inquiry. 
>>> Perhaps it would be helpful for the original sender, whose name I cannot 
>>> remember,  to repost the information.
>>>
>>> Finally, a practice question along the lines of one recently asked by 
>>> Rod : when it comes to filling out forms, does anyone have experience 
>>> with software that would enable one to digitize a form, i.e., scan it 
>>> into a computer, then fill it out and print it, without altering the 
>>> form's original format or look. Also, does any such software allow the 
>>> user to read the form, in addition to what he/ she has written? Thank 
>>> you in advance for your responces.
