[blindlaw] Accessibility of PACER/ECF service of Administrative Office of the Courts

[Tim Elder]

Hi folks,

The Administrative Office of the Federal Courts recently sent out a survey
to some of its PACER/ECF users asking about certain features of the service.
I am aware that certain functions of the service have accessibility problems
with screen readers, which makes it challenging for blind attorneys or other
professionals working in the legal sector to independently file documents
with the court or review docket information.  Are others having difficulty
with PACER?ECF?  Is the accessibility of this system something we ought to
be pursuing with more aggressive advocacy?  I urge you to send your comments
to:
sberkowipz at pcgfirm.com(This is a point of contact for the company conducting
the survey).


Regards,

Tim
