[blindlaw] ADA and Discovery

[John Ramsey]

I thought my dilemma was made clear, however, Mrs. Clark's reply caused me
to clarify. The discovery here in Florida is now "electronic" due to the
legislature mandating that all State Offices go paperless. Also, Florida has
one of the most "open" discovery laws in the nation and we do not as Mrs.
Clark alleges "try to hide things" as a general matter because that would be
grounds for sanctions under our discover rules and also constitute grounds
for appeal.
To return to the original topic, the PDF files are inaccessible to JAWS and
are also not readily identifiable by name. If I am following Mrs. Clark's
thinking, any blind person who has been licensed to practice law is not
qualified to practice law if they do not have a full time reader. This is
just my personal opinion, but wasn't that the same logic that prompted the
congress to enact the ADA in the first place?
Cordially,
John
